'But on the other hand we’re glad that Lewis Hamilton isn’t standing next to us, that’s reassuring...' F1 BritishGP RedBull Formula1
Helmut Marko in Silverstone crash dig: ‘We’re happy Lewis Hamilton is not next to us’As Max Verstappen prepares to line up on the front row of the British Grand Prix grid alongside one British driver, Helmut Marko says he’s “glad” it’s not a different one in Lewis Hamilton.
It, however, could’ve been a different story in qualifying as Red Bull briefly considered not sending Verstappen out for a second run in Q3 such was his advantage – six-tenths – over the chasing pack after his first run. Two years ago Hamilton and Verstappen lined up 1-2 on the British Grand Prix grid as the two fought for the World title with Verstappen getting the jump on his Mercedes rival only for Hamilton to clip his right-rear wheel into Copse corner.
He broke his front wing and had to be pushed back in the garage for repairs. That, though, was just part two of his problems in Q1.
