Marko praised Honda after Red Bull took a podium finish using their power unit in the first race of the season:

I’m very, very happy. We didn’t have any problem with the engine from the first practice laps until now.

We saved quite a lot of energy because we wanted to attack the last three laps. Unfortunately Max went wide so we couldn’t attack Hamilton.

We are happy that the distance to Mercedes was not as big as in qualifying. But we know we have to do much work on the chassis so we can challenge whoever is in front.
