As the rivalry between Red Bull and Mercedes rekindles, Red Bull’s motorsport advisor, Helmut Marko, has downplayed Mercedes as non-serious competitors in the current Formula 1 season.
The recent exchange of words between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, triggered by Verstappen’s impressive consecutive race victories and pursuit of a third consecutive Drivers’ Championship, brought the rivalry back into the spotlight. Hamilton claimed he has faced stronger teammates than Verstappen, igniting a war of words through the media.
Verstappen labeled Hamilton as “jealous” of his success and criticized Toto Wolff’s comments about the RB19 development. In response, Christian Horner and Toto Wolff engaged in verbal exchanges, further intensifying the rivalry.
