Max Verstappen managed to clinch a nail-biting win at the Yas Marina Circuit following his final lap heroics. The last Formula 1 race of the season was disarrayed towards the end by a safety car incident. Mercedes were not happy with how it turned out in the end for Lewis Hamilton and the team launched a protest against the Red Bull win.
Although the two contentious protests were dismissed by the Stewards and Verstappen was confirmed the F1 champion, this whole scenario didn’t sit right with Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko. The Austrian launched the war of words against the Brackley team. He even hinted at a possible exit from the sport if these protests are not done away with.

Marko is known for his unfiltered opinions and straightforward approach. More recently, he even suggested that Lewis Hamilton should try his luck in Hollywood while taking a dig at him. Now, he is dejected with recent protests launched by Mercedes contesting the result in Abu Dhabi. “It is unworthy of a World Cup final that the decision is delayed like that,” said Marko as reported by Speedweek.

“It’s disgusting what you did after the race, to lodge a protest where it was clear that it would not work. That’s a very bad loser for me,” he added.
