Marko analyses Verstappen's stolen lap time: 'That turned him off'

"He got a gust of wind that knocked him off," Marko is quoted by Sky Germany. In Turn 4, Verstappen went too wide, but according to the Red Bull advisor, Verstappen himself couldn't do much about it.

Mercedes and Red Bull admit almost nothing to each other, so relations are strained. Because of the move of Mercedes-engineer Ben Hodgkinson to the Austrian team, relations have become even more strained. "The atmosphere is a bit tense after a part of the engine department moved to us", Marko also knows.

The man from Graz is curious how Hamilton will hold up for the rest of the season and how he will deal with the constant pressure from Verstappen. "Lewis is not used to another team and another driver competing on equal terms with him," said Marko, who thinks the seven-time world champion will face some tough challenges.
