Red Bull's Helmut Marko has claimed the mood at F1 rivals Mercedes is 'tense” following James Vowles’ departure
Vowles has switched from Mercedes’ director of strategy, taking over the role from Jost Capito, who stood down at the end of 2022.
The 43-year-old was a central figure at Mercedes during the German manufacturer’s recent domination of F1, which included an unprecedented run of eight consecutive constructors’ world titles between 2014 and 2021.Mercedes boss Toto Wolff stressed Vowles’ departure had come with the team’s blessing, but speaking in an interview withWhen asked if he is afraid about the prospect of Williams effectively becoming a Mercedes B-team, Marko said: “No, I have completely different information.
“Vowles went of his own accord and - so it is said - even takes good engineers with him. My sources tell me that's why the mood at Mercedes is so tense.”Marko reckons Vowles’ exit could have an immediate negative effect on Mercedes, though he still believes the Silver Arrows will prove to be the biggest threat to Red Bull in 2023.
“We’ll see,” he continued. “However, I still believe that Mercedes will be our biggest challenger when it comes to defending our title.”
