LEWIS HAMILTON has been dealt another snub by Formula 1 chief Helmut Marko. Last month the outspoken German incredibly claimed Hamilton should have RETIRED after the Abu Dhabi controversy that saw him denied the F1 title. Now Marko has written off Hamilton’s chances this season saying he is some way off his big rivals. There were rumblings that Hamilton was set to retire after he was essentially robbed of his eighth world title in the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi. And Red Bull’s advisor Marko quipped that Hamilton made the wrong decision to continue racing following his nightmare.
