Helmut Marko says Max Verstappen won’t resort to “revenge or other bullshit” against Lewis Hamilton, but Red Bull may still get their lawyers involved.

Tension between the 2021 title protagonists reached fever pitch at the British Grand Prix as Verstappen and Hamilton battled for the lead on the opening lap.

Heading into Copse, Hamilton tried to pass the Red Bull up the inside only to make contact with Verstappen’s rear wheel, sending him hurtling into the barriers.

The 23-year-old thankfully walked away from the 51G crash with nothing more than a sore neck and bruises, however, his lead in the championship race was also bruised, slashed to eight points as Hamilton took the Silverstone win.
