'At the time, we thought Lewis would be less of a threat to us at Mercedes than at McLaren...' F1 Formula1 LewisHamilton RedBull
Helmut Marko made ‘complete misjudgement’ of putting Lewis Hamilton on Mercedes’ radarRed Bull advisor Helmut Marko said he alerted the late great Niki Lauda, Mercedes’ former non-executive chairman, to Lewis Hamilton’s potential availability, something which he went on to regret.
Hamilton would decide to make what was a shock switch to Mercedes at the time, his first season with the team in 2013 yielding just the one victory as Red Bull stormed to a fourth title double in a row, Sebastian Vettel winning 13 of the 19 races that season to secure his fourth and final Drivers’ crown.
Following the introduction of the turbo hybrid power units for the 2014 campaign, Mercedes shot to the summit of Formula 1 and became the new irresistible force, the team going on to win eight Constructors’ titles in a row from 2014-2021, Hamilton collecting six Drivers’ titles in that time.“I gave him [Lauda] some information that Lewis would be available,” Marko told Sport Bild.
