Max Verstappen has wrapped up the 2023 F1 world championship during the Qatar GP Sprint race. Since his triumph, the whole motorsports community has been going bonkers. Amidst all this, Red Bull’s team adviser, Helmut Marko, has also taken the opportunity to applaud Verstappen on the brilliant job he has done for the Austrian team.
Max Verstappen has operated in a league of his own this year and has proved to be pretty much untouchable. None of his competitors have been able to pose a challenge in front of him, and it is for this very reason that he has been able to secure the world championship with still a handful of races left in the season.
Helmut Marko is immensely pleased with the efforts of Verstappen, and while applauding him after the Qatar Sprint race, he said, as reported by Motorsports.com, “I have known him for ten years, and I am always surprised; there is no end to it. It just goes on and on. It’s unbelievable.” Moreover, while shedding light on the party plans, he added, “We will organize a small party at the hotel, but it won’t last long because we want to win the race tomorrow. So we have to stay fit. We will be fully focused.”
Looking at the comments of the 80-year-old veteran, it is quite clear that Red Bull had a blast into the night at their respective hotel in Qatar. Moreover, he has also made it known that while everyone is pleased with Verstappen’s triumph, they know that the Qatar weekend is not over, as the main Grand Prix event is yet to come.

Helmut Marko and Co. will eye victories in all the remaining events of 2023
While Max Verstappen has got the job done as far as the 2023 F1 title tussle is concerned, there are still five events remaining on the calendar after the Qatar Grand Prix. The Lusail’s main event will take place in a few hours, but Marko and Co. have also got one of their eyes set on securing victories in all the remaining races after the ongoing weekend.
The RB19 has proved too mighty for the other 18 cars on the grid, and considering this and Verstappen’s form, they will be the favorite to clinch victories in all the upcoming events. The upcoming Qatar race is like a fresh start for the whole team, and they would want to hit the road running from the get-go until the last event in Abu Dhabi.

Helmut Marko and Christian Horner are the two main pillars around which the Red Bull team revolves, and some of the credit for Max Verstappen’s 2023 title triumph also goes to them. The duo has been leading the charge of the Austrian team from the very beginning, and the success that they have experienced with Verstappen is much deserved.
