BREAKING:Helmut Marko Accuses Lewis Hamilton of P…read more.

Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has stirred controversy once again by accusing seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton of employing mind games to unsettle rivals ahead of the 2025 Formula 1 season.

Marko, known for his blunt remarks, suggested that Hamilton’s recent comments about Red Bull’s dominance and Max Verstappen’s performance were meant to create psychological pressure rather than reflect genuine concerns.

“Hamilton is always trying to play mental games,” Marko told a German media outlet. “He knows Red Bull has the strongest package, so he’s attempting to create doubts. But we are not falling for it.”

The accusation follows Hamilton’s statements about Mercedes’ pre-season struggles and his insistence that Red Bull’s advantage is growing. However, some believe the British driver is downplaying his own team’s potential while subtly targeting Verstappen.

This latest exchange adds fuel to an already intense rivalry between Hamilton and Red Bull, particularly as the British driver prepares to move to Ferrari in 2026. With the season opener in Bahrain just days away, tensions are already rising in the paddock.

Neither Hamilton nor Mercedes have responded to Marko’s claims, but fans are already speculating whether this is the beginning of another dramatic season.

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
