Damon Hill criticizes Red Bull: Verstappen has received a license!

In a sensational topic around Formula 1, the former world champion Damon Hill vehement vehemently rejected the allegations against the TV station Sky, who accuses Red Bull Racing in favor of British drivers. Hill, who spoke in an interview with the Telegraph , described these claims as unjust and made it clear that the broadcaster always stated to report fairly. His criticism is directed primarily against Red Bull's team management, which in his opinion has a responsibility towards sport, especially when it comes to the limits of fairness.

"Red Bull gave Max Verstappen a license to excite some rules," warned Hill. He criticized the team's behavior and complained that Verstappen often operates at the limit when overtaking without the team intervening. With regard to the 2024 season, in which there were several clashes with Lando Norris, Hill said that Verstappen interpreted the rules correctly, but dealing with the situation gives rise to concern. "If someone did the same to him, he would cry like a small child," said Hill, who denounced the team's double standards.

criticism of Red Bull and Jingoism

In addition, Hill rejected the narrative that there was an anti-Dutch mood. He named such claims absurd and spoke of "Jingoism", which in his opinion is braided into the discussion. "It is unfair to say that we are against Red Bull just because they are not British," said Hill, clarifying that his criticism is not based in person, but on principles. Red Bull knew that they would have to exert pressure to be treated fairly, which also complicates the situation.

hill's words are a cry for more responsibility in sports and an invitation to Red Bull to recognize their role in maintaining the integrity of Formula 1. The discussion about the team dynamics and the responsibility of the drivers remains a central topic in the upcoming Formula 1 season, in which both Red Bull and Verstappen are with special observation.
