Marko: Verstappen "overdid it"

Another race and another headline from Verstappen but they were not the ones he would have wanted. A possible race win fell by the wayside after contact with Sebastian Vettel in the closing stages of the race.

Head of Red Bull driver development Helmut Marko says that Verstappen made a mistake and "overdid it" in trying to overtake the Ferrari man.

Speaking to Movistar, Marko was honest when he gave his opinion on the incident.

Had he not made a mistake in an attempt to overtake Lewis Hamilton and avoided contact with Vettel, Verstappen could have been in a position to win the race or finish on the podium at a minimum.

The Red Bull driver was left to rue his mistake after receiving a 10-second time penalty whilst his teammate Daniel Ricciardo went on to win.
