“Trying to Take Credit for Everything”: Lewis Hamilton Slaps Helmut Marko Down to Admit Massive Mistake Giving LH Army an Opportunity to Troll RB’s Taskmaster

Helmut Marko’s attempts at taking credit are as habitual as Lewis Hamilton crying about every little inconvenience. However, Helmut Marko’s frugal attempt at taking credit away from the former Mercedes phenomenon has landed him in the LH army’s troll zone. Lewis Hamilton’s impeccable record slapped Helmut Marko down as he admitted his huge mistake. Let’s find out what the mistake was and how are the fans trolling him.

Lewis Hamilton was the hottest driver on the grid after his contract with McLaren ended in 2012. While many including Hamilton’s father advised him to stay at McLaren, the Briton had other ideas in his mind. The 38-year-old always talks about how influential Niki Lauda was in his decision to move teams in 2013 and sign with Mercedes. Hamilton saw the project and investment made by Mercedes and decided to commit.

It recently came to light that Lewis Hamilton was also on Helmut Marko and Red Bull’s radar. However, Red Bull did not consider the now 7X world champion to be a threat and let him go. The Red Bull taskmaster explains how he hinted at Lewis Hamilton’s availability to Niki Lauda and suggests he did Mercedes a favor. Nevertheless, Marko admitted that he made a huge mistake by recommending Mercedes to sign Lewis Hamilton.

Helmut Marko’s decision would come back to bite him as the Brit won 6 world championships with Mercedes. The fans believe that Marko is actually stealing Niki Lauda’s thunder and is taking away from the efforts that the Austrian made to sign him. The Red Bull Taskmaster’s comments and admission of guilt have given the LH army a golden opportunity to troll him.
