The pairing of Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo in MotoGP has got Red Bull's Helmut Marko contemplating a future Max Verstappen/Sebastian Vettel line-up in Formula 1.

Combined, the two riders have won eight of the previous nine motorcycle world championships, resulting in one of the fiercest rivalries in MotoGP history.

Now they must work together at Repsol Honda, with Lorenzo moving over from Ducati, and Red Bull, who is associated with the team, is just as excited as the rest to see what happens.

"For outsiders, it's a stupendously good thing," Marko was quoted by Motorsport-Total. "Marquez and Lorenzo in a team, as a team leader, I would not enjoy it.

"You have to make sure that you have a certain amount of competition in the team so that the drivers push each other, but it has to be productive."

Considered a dream-team by many, however, it got the Austrian playfully teasing bringing together arguably Red Bull's two most talented prodigies.

"The fact that Vettel and Red Bull are still connected was seen at the podium ceremony in Austria – he went to the podium with a can of Red Bull, without us having a contract for it," Marko noted.

And with Charles Leclerc stepping up at Ferrari and Sebastian's contract expiring at the end of 2020, who's to say the German might not consider ending his career with the company that made it.
