In a recent interview with RTL news, taking a dig at the Briton, he said that apart from being a gifted driver, Hamilton possesses great acting skills as well. “He doesn’t lack much in acting to go to Hollywood,” said Marko. “Of course he does it perfectly,” added the 78-year old.

The Austrian is particularly upset over the penalties imposed on the Red Bull prodigy during the Jeddah GP. “There are recordings that show how Hamilton looked in the mirror and pushed Max off the track,” explained Marko.
“I don’t think it’s fair to run such a campaign against a 24-year-old,” added Marko.
