Dr Helmut Marko has hit out at Lewis Hamilton’s recent criticism of Red Bull. After suggesting that Alex Albon is not good enough to be Max Verstappen’s teammate, Hamilton accused Red Bull of not treating Monza winner Pierre Gasly fairly when he was demoted to Alpha Tauri last year. “The driver he wanted to get rid of last summer has now won the Italian GP with our Alpha Tauri team. “We want to make Alpha Tauri even stronger in the future and that means we need a team leader,” he said. Marko said it is simply tough for any driver, including Gasly and Albon, to be Verstappen’s teammate.
