Did I need to be so obvious as to refer to his time at McLaren? setting up a rogue intra-team based on stolen documents, who then demanded #1 status by any means via blackmailling his own employer?
Would he still be an F1 driver by now if wasn't double WDC cf. Nelson Piquet Jr/2008 Singapore GP crash scandal and now racing in low tier NASCAR.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Basically everything he said in that interview is bull****, perhaps apart from the part about Webber not being able to sustain a championship challenge once the heat is on. It does appear to be that way.
Yes, sadly, there is probably much truth in that bit. Even then, is it something that should be said in public, even though a lot of people know it to be the case?

Marko is bored at the moment, which is why he has to come up with this crap.
The crap he is saying about Webber, the reprimand etc. are just ruining the image of Red Bull more than anything else.
Why is Mateschitz putting up with this crap? Because Marko is Austrian?
Is Marko a Luca/Flavio/Max wannabe?

Calling Alonso the least political driver is an utter joke. Nobody plays more mind-games than him.
Well, Marko... That guy's so ridiculous, I don't even listen to his crap.как могу я знать что я думаю, пока не слушал что я говорю

Helmut Marko's way of speaking may not be particularly "light", but he is hardly an idiot, considering his role and influence in RBR and which kind of life challenges he has himself met in the past (like the accident in 1972, which blinded his eye). So he is used to being mentally tough to accomplish something in life. Pampering someone isn't his way of management.
I see, where he is coming from with his comments. Another matter is if they can be expressed so bluntly or some alternative aspects have to be considered as well when evaluating the situations. Depends on perspective. But it really would be useful if people were open-minded and tried to discuss about things and understand people. Because calling someone an "idiot" is hardly an insight. Same with Tilke, Ecclestone, etc influencial people in F1, who people are fond of calling names.
For example regarding Mark Webber I personally tend more towards the explanation of his ability to simply adapt to different cars/setups, which make his form fluctuate. Rather than just pressure. Then again Helmut himself has been a sportsman, while I haven't, so he must have some knowledge about the matter.
