Christian Horner suggested Mercedes had told Lewis Hamilton to 'b****' about his agony

Red Bull chief Christian Horner previously suggested that Lewis Hamilton was made to “b****” as much as he could in order to convince the FIA to change their own rules.

The comments came following a controversial Azerbaijan Grand Prix exactly a year ago. Hamilton, a seven-time World Champion, was seen clambering out of his W13 after the race in agony after suffering the most from the porpoising effect.

His teammate George Russell also had similar problems. Since then, rules have been introduced in an effort to battle porpoising. Despite that alteration, Horner’s comments about Hamilton’s complaints are still echoing in the minds of organisers. He was previously suspicious that the issue was being blown out of proportion by Mercedes.
