In the aftermath of the last lap drama during the Austrian Grand Prix, involving the two Mercedes drivers and main title contenders, it has emerged that Niki Lauda called Lewis Hamilton a liar before the race at Red Bull Ring.
Lauda, recently interviewed by Servus TV, said that Hamilton had made a calculated lie when he claimed before the race in Austria that his relationship with Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg was better than ever.
But the Mercedes F1 team chairman revealed, “Lewis lied about that. Simple as that. He just said something. He wanted to be the softener in order to have his peace last weekend.”
“He does what he can. The fight gets hotter the longer Nico is in front,” added Lauda, who went on to divulge that Hamilton trashed his drivers’ room in the Mercedes motorhome after he crashed during qualifying for the Grand Prix of Europe in Baku.
“He did it because he crashed,” explained Lauda. “He’ll have to pay for it, you can count on that. He told me I couldn’t come in because he was going to trash everything. This is how it was.”
