Red Bull's results are incontestable. In the first race at the Bahrain GP they got a double that makes clear their extensive control of the situation. The third was Fernando Alonso, but for the Red Bull gyrfalcons this is not only the merit of the Asturian driver and the hard work of the British team, but also a copy of his car.
Thus, Helmut Marko, a former driver and advisor to Red Bull, has accused Dan Fallows, a former member of his team, of having copied the car from the box of energy drinks. The Austrian's theory is that the AMR23 bears a very suspicious resemblance to the RB19 and he relies on making those claims that Fallows knows Adrian Newey's ideas firsthand.
In this regard, Marko has even hinted at the theft of documents. "It's true, what Fallows had in his head cannot be erased. Copying the focus is not prohibited, but can you copy in such detail without having documentation of our car?" he told 'Servus TV'.
After the race he went further to state that the podium was filled with cars from the energy drink. "We've had three Red Bulls on the podium today, only the last one with a different engine! (Aston Martin is fitted with a Mercedes power unit)," he said wryly.
"I said it before the race: Alonso will be third. His fight with Hamilton was incredible. It was a tough duel, but fair. Really old school. If Fernando had come out later, surely he would have been a threat to us," he admitted. the austrian. In addition, he is clear that the Asturian is in fantastic shape despite his 41 years. "With Alonso, age does not seem to matter. He is in the best form of his entire life," he stressed.
