‘They put on a show that poor Hamilton is injured’: Red Bull chief accuses Lewis and Mercedes of FAKING his injuries from terrifying crash with Max Verstappen and ‘pulling up stories’ to blame them

Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has accused Lewis Hamilton and his Mercedes team of faking the injuries he sustained from last week’s Italian Grand Prix crash with Max Verstappen. The pair headed into Turn 1 side by side before Verstappen drove over the raised kerb on Turn 2, causing his car to fly into the air and land on top of Hamilton. And then a show is put on that poor Hamilton is suddenly injured.’. Hamilton said: ‘Thank God for the halo which saved me and saved my neck. ‘I have to compliment not only the Dutch, but also Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton. ‘But they did not touch wheel to wheel, but tyre to tyre. But it is a very typical manoeuvre [in] Turn 1, Turn 2, and they have been unlucky [to] touch wheel to wheel.
