Tension between Hamilton and Red Bull

«Red Bull is not a constructor, it’s an energy drinks company», Hamilton told the British newspaper The Guardian. «It’s an energy drinks company up against the histories of McLaren and Ferrari. I don’t know what their plans are. Our team is growing to become a bigger constructor, like Ferrari, and our structure will definitely exist for a very long time. It’s a true team, born to race», he added. Hamilton remains skeptical about the possibility of Red Bull staying at a very high level for many more years.

I’m 100% certain that neither McLaren nor Ferrari will let that happen, he said. They haven’t been in F1 for very long. Our teams have a status they intend to maintain. For many years, McLaren and Ferrari were at the forefront, and now a new team has come and pushed us into the background. But I am really certain that these two teams will do everything in their power to regain the top step of the podium.

Moreover, Lewis Hamilton’s snobbery goes even further when he decides to interfere in the internal affairs of the Red Bull team. He indeed doubts that Red Bull is capable of providing its two drivers with fair treatment conditions and refers to the past season to explain his judgment: “It seems clear to me that it’s a team where there is a number one,” he claims, obviously referring to Sebastian Vettel. “That’s the impression we have from the outside. Isn’t Mark the number 2? Let’s stop believing what they say and judge for ourselves.”

What is certain is that the destinies of Hamilton and Red Bull will certainly never cross! Let’s now wish the 2008 world champion to turn these verbal attacks into attacks on the track, starting this weekend on the Albert Park circuit in Australia. Follow the weekend in full on fan-f1!
