Red Bull's Helmet Marko hits out at Lewis Hamilton - 'suddenly he's injured'
Red Bull chief Helmet Marko has hit out at Lewis Hamilton for pulling off a “show” after colliding with Max Verstappen at the Italian Grand Prix. Verstappen’s rear-right tyre made contact with Hamiton’s helmet in the incident that ended their race prematurely.
The Red Bull driver found himself alongside the seven-time world champion due to a slow pit-stop, after the Dutchman was looking to pull off the overcut on Daniel Ricciardo at Monza.
However after an uncharacteristic mistake from the team, Verstappen endured an 11-second pit stop due to a problem with his right-front wheel.
It meant he was thrust alongside Hamilton, as the seven-time world champion rejoined the track on lap 26, ultimately leading to the incident at the Rettifilo chicane.
In the aftermath Hamilton revealed he felt “a little bit of pain” whilst still in the car, adding that he was suffering from a huge headache after the crash.
But Marko questioned how hurt the Mercedes driver really was.
