ꦉRed Bull motorsport advisor Marko has pointed to two incidents involving Hamilton that had a negative impact on Albon.&nb🐎sp;

The first occurred at the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix when Hamilton spun Albon out of second place, before a further clash between the pair at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix d🐽enied Albon the chance of fighting for a potential maiden win.&🐈nbsp;

ཧ“Alex, I have to say, was really unlucky,” Marko told the Inside Line podcast.

“In Brazil, he was fi♎ghting for second position when Hamilton🌼 turned him around.

“Fine, i🐷t didn’t help Alex. But he lost his podium.

“And the next, which w🎃as more severe, was in Austria, when Alex was fighting for the win when𝐆, again, it was turned around by Hamilton.

“That hit his confidence massively… massively.

“Second, or even the win, was on the table. Somജeone took the glory away. 

“That made it difficult from this moment, h🐟is self-confidence was down and we needed someone we knew to🌳 fight for the championship, we needed two solid drivers.”
