Helmut Marko has blamed Lewis Hamilton for “massively” denting Alex Albon’s confidence during his difficult stint at Red Bull. F1
The British-born Thai was replaced bybut has been one of the stand-out performers since returning to the F1 grid with Williams in 2022, prompting some to suggest he was let go by Red Bull too soon.
Red Bull motorsport advisor Marko has pointed to two incidents involving Hamilton that had a negative impact on Albon. The first occurred at the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix when Hamilton spun Albon out of second place, before a further clash between the pair at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix denied Albon the chance of fighting for a potential maiden win.“In Brazil, he was fighting for second position when Hamilton turned him around.“And the next, which was more severe, was in Austria, when Alex was fighting for the win when, again, it was turned around by Hamilton.“Second, or even the win, was on the table.
“That made it difficult from this moment, his self-confidence was down and we needed someone we knew to fight for the championship, we needed two solid drivers.”
