Red Bull team chief Christian Horner yesterday called on Lewis Hamilton to consider changing his approach to racing, after knocking Alex Albon out of contention in Sunday's action-packed Austrian Grand Prix. In the aftermath of a tumultuous season-opener held behind closed...
The pair were fighting for second place in the closing laps of the race, which saw only 11 finishers from 20 starters and three safety car interventions following spectacular crashes.
The stewards blamed Hamilton for the crash, but Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said their decision was"not justified" and added that the five-second penalty was unfair."Why Lewis needed to stick a wheel in there, I have no idea," said Horner. For Hamilton, it was a disappointing end to an intense weekend on and off the track during which he and Mercedes were protested against and penalised regularly.Red Bull complained in vain against their dual-axis steering system on Friday and on Sunday bemoaned a stewards' decision not to punish Hamilton for ignoring yellow flags in Saturday's qualifying.
Bottas produced a flawless performance to claim his eighth career victory with Charles Leclerc a surprise second for Ferrari ahead of Lando Norris of McLaren who, at 20, became the youngest Briton to claim a podium finish and the third youngest of all time.
