Marko keeps firing in Ferrari war of words

[vcs316]

Helmut Marko has kept firing amid the war of words between 2010 championship rivals Red Bull and Ferrari.

Marko recently likened Ferrari's hiring of strategy boss Neil Martin as a move to poach Red Bull's "spirit", prompting Luca di Montezemolo's retort that the Austrian team doesn't "know how to behave as champions".

"This was all blown up by a newspaper," Red Bull consultant and driver programme manager Marko insisted, according to Auto Bild Motorsport.

The saga did, however, highlight the relationship between the two sides, with both Ferrari and Red Bull to use a Magneti Marelli KERS next year.

"We are both working with Magneti Marelli as the basis (of the system)," confirmed Marko, "but the real development will take place in the fine details."

Another common ground between the two sides is sister team Toro Rosso's Ferrari engine supply, but on this matter Marko poured fuel onto the fire.

"We stand to learn nothing from Toro Rosso's customer engines, which - anyway - are not on the same level as the real Ferrari engines," he said.

Toro Rosso will use Ferrari's KERS system in 2011.

Whatever. Down with RB!! For this year they are higher on my hate list than Mclaren.

For no reason at all they started this war. It was Mclaren and Merc that called them cheaters. We just kept our heads down, went to work, and did the best we could. Don't start something you can't finish RB.

FORZA FERRARI

I couldn't give two hoots about what Helmut Marko or that clown of an F1 team say about us. It will come back to bite them.

And at the end of the day, they are just a drinks company. And we are the most prestigious brand in motorsport history.

Forza Ferrari!
