Dr Helmut Marko has played down reports Max Verstappen may benefit from his own “rocket” engine this weekend in Saudi Arabia. “Your primary thought as a driver is definitely not like that,” Wurz told Osterreich. “As we are so close to the end now, I hope that some of the topics of the last few weeks will move a little to the side now,” he told Sky Deutschland. “I hope the team bosses hold back a little more, and of course I also hope it doesn’t come down to the FIA having to decide the world champion in the end.”.
