Formula 1 | Marko on the Vettel-Verstappen contact: “Max exaggerated”

At the end of the Chinese Grand Prix, Helmut Marko commented on the contact between Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel, admitting how the Dutchman exaggerated towards the four-time Ferrari World Champion. According to the Austrian, with that maneuver Verstappen threw away a possible success given that before the incident, we are talking about the fortieth lap, he could count on an advantageous position over his teammate.

Here are the words of Helmut Marko: “Max exaggerated against Vettel. It was a mistake and for that he apologized. Unfortunately these are things that can happen in racing. I have nothing to say about the race, Max managed the first part very well, managing to keep Hamilton and Bottas behind. Today he knows what he has lost, but his time will also come."

“The possibility of success was alive for him, but unfortunately he gave it up. He's young and certain things can happen. In any case, we leave China remarkably satisfied", he added.
