The Red Bull Formula 1 team has operated almost god-like mode during the 2023 F1 season, bashing all their competitors with ease. None of the other heavy hitters of the sport have even been able to come near them, and its team adviser, Helmut Marko, has admitted that the team is eyeing a clean sweep.
The ongoing campaign is fourteen rounds down, and the Milton-Keynes-based team has triumphed in all of them. Moreover, its star driver, Max Verstappen, is currently on a winning streak of ten consecutive races and, despite this, is fully committed to continuing his incredibly dominant run.
Helmut Marko is pleased with how the season has panned out far so far for Red Bull, and while talking about the team’s targets, he told Motorsport, “First of all our goal is to secure the world championships. But let’s say if we win in Singapore, then the chance is there that we can win all the races. Of course, it is becoming a goal now.”
“In the beginning of the season, it was not realistic to win all the races and it has never happened before. McLaren was stopped here, so the press constructed a story that the curse would hit us as well, but we didn’t let it hit us.” The 80-year-old has oozed a lot of confidence heading to the Singapore GP.

Red Bull is on track to secure its second consecutive Constructors title
While Helmut Marko has admitted that winning all the races this year is a target for Red Bull, the outfit is also on track to secure its second consecutive Constructors Championship. The Mercedes F1 team had a firm grip over the title during the turbo-hybrid era, and it was only after last year that Red Bull started producing the goods.
As things stand, Red Bull has so far managed 583 points in the Constructors Championship, whereas its nearest rival has only managed to put 273 points on the board. Christian Horner and Co. have already got one of their hands on the trophy, as, at the current stage, it has only become a formality for them.
The ongoing campaign has eight races remaining on the calendar, and the way 2023 has panned out for them so far, Red Bull could likely accomplish a clean sweep in terms of winning races this year. However, the Singapore GP is a tough track to nail, and it would be fascinating to see how the RB19 would perform there.
