No complacency at Red Bull

“Well, first, we have to be dominant," Marko told Sky Germany ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

"But the new sidepods, which are quite visible, will bring some tenths back.

"I hope the cooling works well too, and it should give us an advantage. "

Marko went on to suggest that McLaren's rapid development in recent weeks poses

"As we saw in Silverstone, McLaren was very close to us.

"And since the regulations haven't changed much, development is crucial for the future.

"I believe we will make a good step forward.”
