Dr Helmut Marko has doubled down after fellow Red Bull chief Christian Horner was officially rebuked for lashing out at a “rogue” steward in Qatar. “The anger is about one car not being shown a yellow flag, the next car being shown one and the third car being shown two,” he said. “If Max had started second, it would have been closer,” Marko agrees. “To Christian’s credit, he also volunteered to take part in a steward workshop in 2022. Marko, though, moved his frustration from the steward in question to the FIA as an organisation. “It was just an unfortunate situation and in my opinion none of the drivers should have been punished,” Marko said.
