In one fell swoop, Dr Helmut Marko has dismissed the title threat posed by figures including reigning champion Jenson Button, the 2008 runner-up Felipe Massa, Mercedes’ works team, and seven time world champion Michael Schumacher.<\/p>\n
Red Bull’s motor racing adviser told APA news agency that the energy drink owned team only fears the challenges of Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.<\/p>\n
“There are two people that we fear for this world title,” said Marko.\u00a0 “They are Fernando Alonso, because he is at his absolute peak, and Lewis Hamilton.<\/p>\n
“What the others are doing bothers us not so much,” revealed the Austrian.<\/p>\n
Red Bull’s RB6 car has been clearly the fastest among F1’s class of 2010, so Marko thinks the Milton Keynes based team is rightly the championship favourite.<\/p>\n
“With the package that we have, we clearly have to be going for the championship — and in the coming years.<\/p>\n
“We have the people we need and the necessary tools to adapt to changes.\u00a0 We have had a winning car also in 2008 and 2009, so you can’t say that it’s a fluke when you’re building a top car in three consecutive years,” he added.<\/p>\n
