A Red Bull adviser has warned that the team could pull out of Formula One unless changes were made to the current regulations . Red Bull are among a number of teams frustrated by their inability to keep up with Mercedes , who dominated Formula One last year and cruised to an easy victory in Sunday 's season-opening Australian Grand Prix after a virtual procession . Rival drivers described the race as 'boring ' and Red Bull motorsport adviser Helmut Marko said if it went unchecked , it could drive other teams away and reduce interest in the sport . Red Bull may pull out of Formula One if the rules are not changed , an adviser has warned . Helmut Marko ( left , with former Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel ) says the team will evaluate the situation . Marko even suggested that Red Bull , who won four championships in a row before being left in the Mercedes slipstream , might pull out if billionaire owner Dietrich Mateschitz lost interest . Speaking to German-language media , Marko was quoted as saying : 'We will evaluate the situation again as every year and look into costs and revenues . 'If we are totally dissatisfied we could contemplate an F1 exit . 'Yes , the danger is there that Mr Mateschitz loses his passion for F1 . ' Daniel Ricciardo could only manage a sixth-placed finish for Red Bull during the Australian Grand Prix . Red Bull 's second driver Daniil Kvyat pulled out of Sunday 's opening race with a gear box failure . Marko 's comments came after Red Bull team principal Christian Horner told reporters that Formula One officials should take action to equalise the engine performances of every team to create a more level playing field . Red Bull made a disastrous start to the new season with Daniel Ricciardo getting lapped before finishing sixth in his home race . His new Russian team-mate Daniil Kvyat did n't even make it to the grid , withdrawing before the start with gearbox failure . 'When we were winning , and we were never winning with an advantage that Mercedes has , double diffusers were banned , exhausts were moved , flexible bodywork was banned , engine mapping was changed mid-season - anything was done to pull us back , ' Horner told reporters . VIDEO Hamilton cruises to victory in Australian GP . Lewis Hamilton ( right ) and Nico Rosberg finished first and second respectively at the Australian Grand Prix . Red Bull chief Christian Horner is concerned that Mercedes ' dominance will be unhealthy for the sport . 'That was not just us , it was done to McLaren and Williams in other years . 'The FIA , within the rules , have an equalisation mechanism ; I think it 's something that perhaps they need to look at . ' Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff had little sympathy for Red Bull , accusing their rivals of moaning because they were losing . 'If you try to beat each other and perform at the highest level and then you need equalisation after the first race - you cry out after the first race - that 's not how we 've done things in the past , '
