Max Verstappen was very irritated about the onboard radio last Sunday. The Dutchman wanted to go in earlier, but according to Helmut Marko the Dutchman should leave the strategy to his team. Arguing within Red Bull Racing, or is it all going to be okay?

"This is so nice about Helmut Marko. Of course everyone is himself and with Marko he sometimes means he throws out something he shouldn't have said. But it's no big deal. You have to coach each other and keep a sharp eye on each other, and that's a good thing,'' says Jan Lammers to the AD.

Marko not happy with Verstappen

Lammers said earlier that the battle between Red Bull and Verstappen is only good, but Ho-Pin Tung thinks that Marko did not like the way they communicated. ''This may seem wrong to the general public, but the team also picks up his signal. They know how good he is,'' says the racing driver.

''He kept repeating himself because of the frustration. The peace and quiet he did have at Silverstone was not there under other circumstances. I think Marko meant that Max had already made his point and should concentrate on the race. But Max is very outspoken and that's part of it. You see that a lot with Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel'', concludes Tung.
