Ferrari has had some good performances throughout the season if their poor performances are ignored. Nonetheless, even if everything goes right for the team, beating Red Bull could be a reach as of now. However, Helmut Marko doesn’t believe so. The Red team has failed their drivers quite a lot of times with their strategy this season. One of the major examples came at Zandvoort. Charles Leclerc called in to box the lap, however, when he came into the pit, the tires weren’t ready.
Although let’s believe the team has learned from their mistakes. But their strategy has always set back the drivers. Nonetheless, Ferrari first showed promise in their performance when Leclerc overtook Max Verstappen and led the race for a few laps. That was a breaking point for the team to know they had the pace. And agreeably so, the pace has not been as much of an issue for the team this season. But in case, Verstappen is out of the race due to technicalities, Ferrari would have to do everything right in their power to win the race.

Especially for the team to be at Monza for the weekend. This could count as a big deal for the team and its drivers to win a race at Monza. However, nothing can be assured with Aston Martin seemingly back with its pace. Nonetheless, Helmut Marko has confessed that if there is any team he has faith in, it is Ferrari.
Helmut Markok wants Ferrari to take a win at Monza
Helmut Marko has trusted Mercedes to be the second-fastest team to beat Red Bull. But it seems something has changed the Red Bull boss’ mind. When recently asked about Monza he mentioned Ferrari to be the one to beat them at Monza. And if the team is lucky enough, they can add another race win to their 158 race wins at Monza.
Marko was asked by OE24, which team would he want to break Red Bull’s win streak. That is when Helmut hoped for Ferrari to win a race at Monza. He said, “For that to happen, Max would have to have a technical defect. But if we’re going to be beaten, then I would somehow allow Ferrari to do that, especially in Monza.”
Helmut Marko would choose Ferrari as the team to break Max’s winning streak:
“For that to happen, Max would have to have a technical defect. But, if we’re going to be beaten, then I’d give it to Ferrari — Especially at Monza.”

With that being said, it seems winning at Monza could be a reach at the most. Red Bull seems to have done everything right this year. The team has won every single race of the season. With Max Verstappen into the race with 9 consecutive wins, this could be the race where he sets a new record. As Red Bull’s dominance continues, it is harder to say which team would beat them. Nonetheless, Monza stays a special place in the heart of every Ferrari fan and driver. And with the two drivers racing there on Sunday, they just need some luck.
