Today's f1 news as hamilton 'false' claim blasted and marko scolded by ex-driver

Here are your F1 news headlines for Saturday, March 29. ‘FALSE’ HAMILTON CLAIMS BLASTED BY FERRARI BOSS Ferrari team principal has dismissed ‘false’ suggestions that Lewis Hamilton is past

his best and provided evidence to back it up. The 40-year-old has collected only nine points so far in his opening two races for the Scuderia after the team’s disqualification from the

Chinese Grand Prix. The Prancing Horse ditched Carlos Sainz, 30, to make way for the seven-time world champion. Despite Hamilton’s slow start, Vasseur has strongly refuted suggestions that

the Briton is a spent force. "To think that Hamilton is worn out, finished, is rude," Vasseur told L'Equipe. "And what’s more, it’s false. Look at his last race last

year: he started sixteenth and finished fourth, overtaking his team-mate." EX-RED BULL DRIVER HITS OUT AT ‘EVIL’ MARKO Former Red Bull academy driver Jaime Alguersuari has hit out at

Helmut Marko's treatment of Liam Lawson. The New Zealand star, 22, was demoted to their sister team Racing Bulls after just two races this season. Alguersuari, who raced for the defunct

Toro Rosso team between 2009 and 2011, claimed that Marko’s ‘evil’ stance will eventually work against the team. “I don't think Helmut has changed. I think Formula 1 has changed, but I

think Helmut Marko hasn't changed and he won't change," he told talkSPORT. "He has no interest in changing. I think things have worked for Red Bull so far and for

Helmut, but I'm not sure if it'll work for the next 10 years in terms of having this method or this mindset with drivers." Alguersuari pointed to how Anthony Hamilton, Lewis

Hamilton's father, comforted Isack Hadjar in the paddock and described Marko's treatment of Lawson as the complete opposite. "Then you have the other side being evil and just

laughing at you, which is the way Helmut Marko has performed and is well known for doing that," he added. "I don't think it's the way to behave because it's quite

natural and expected that you can be emotional in this certain situation." COULTHARD 'INJURED IN MOTORBIKE ACCIDENT' F1 icon David Coulthard suffered a broken collarbone in a

motorbike accident, according to a friend close to the Scottish driver. Coulthard was mentioned during a conversation on Heart Radio on Thursday as he was celebrating his birthday. According

to Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, the 54-year-old injured himself while riding a motorbike. “He's lived life in the fast lane. He still is, he's just broken his

collarbone - but on a motorbike. Can you believe that?” Holden said on air. Coulthard is one of the most recognisable British F1 racers in motorsport history and entered 247 Grands Prix

between 1994 and 2008. He raced for Williams, McLaren and Red Bull before retiring with 13 race victories and now works as a pundit across Channel 4’s highlights packages.
