Despite ultimately having to settle with third and fourth in the ⭕race, Ferrari’s performance across the weekend, particularly in qualifying, caught the eye. 

Sainz narrowly pipped Verstappen to take a popular pole position, while teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc ended up third-quickest. 

And Marko believes that Ferrari turned up their power units to the maximum in their desperation to seal aꦓ famous home win.

“We knew that Ferrari would put everything possible into Monza,” Marko told Servus TV. “They went to the maximum and squeezed out the last horsepower🧔.

“But we also knew that the engine would suffer later for𒁏 that. Unlike them, we have a universal car. So we knew it would be tight and didn’t lose our nerve.

“But we were still surprised that we didn’t keep up with Ferrari༒ at first,” Marko, 80, continued. “Max [Verstappen] had to drive differently and change his strategy and just be patient.

“The Max of four or five years ago would not𒀰 have had that patience.”

Verstappen’s victory maintained Red Bull’s invincible start to the 2023꧋ season.
