After finishing the race at Imola, in which Verstappen overtook Hamilton by a lap, Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko joked that Lewis should have retired last year. These words angered another former rider, Sky Sport commentator Johnny Herbert.
Johnny Herbert: “What a cheap joke – frankly in the spirit of Helmut Marko and Red Bull.
And this after everything that happened last year – an incredible battle between Max and Lewis, between Red Bull and Mercedes. It was a battle beyond the limits of the machines and drivers, in which the decisive race ended completely wrong. And it was Lewis who dominated this fight in the second half of the season and in that race.
I have no doubt that Red Bull would like to have him on their team. And they understand that if Mercedes has it all together and can compete for race wins again, Lewis will be the biggest threat to them.”
