Red Bull clash with Mercedes not deliberate says Marko

Mercedes and Red Bull are set to launch their 2019 cars on the same day.

Next Wednesday both teams will take to Silverstone, something that Mercedes had in the diary for a while, and Red Bull suddenly decided to do the same.

Helmut Marko from Red Bull denies any deliberate clash.

“That was just because our car was finished two days later than planned,” he told Auto Bild. “We will be driving on different parts of the track, so it should not be a problem.”

Both teams are set to have a 'roll out' launch day on Wednesday the 13th of February.
