Helmut Marko has once again expressed his displeasure with the way Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton have handled Max Verstappen's situation. The Red Bull Racing driver was in hospital for examinations after his crash with Hamilton, but this was not an issue for Mercedes however, as the victory was celebrated.
In his post-race interviews, Hamilton initially didn't ask about the state of his title rival at all, which angered Marko. "I thought it was of a low level," said the Red Bull advisor, who saw the seven-time world champion celebrating success exuberantly with Mercedes. "But anyway, that's just the style of the house."

Marko all done with Mercedes

It's another sneer from Marko at Mercedes. After Verstappen won the sprint race he snapped at Toto Wolff and when talking to several media outlets on Sunday he said that Hamilton had been life-threatening.
At Mercedes they are still not convinced that Hamilton is to blame. Marko only wants to say one thing about it in an interview with RTL. "We are for hard but fair racing. And not for irresponsible actions, as we classify this action of Hamilton."
