[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil) Broad daylight robbery today, you could say, Helmut Marko, h-how difficult is it to control yourself here now, after what happened with Ocon?

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=9) I mean, a lapped driver who is under contract with Mercedes is leading, knocks the leader off the track.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=17) That's unbelievable. And then only a ten-second penalty.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=21) I don't want to make any further comment on that.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=23) I've never seen anything like that. You suspect it was his closeness to Mercedes that drove him.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=27) Uh, the first argument would have been, that he was ahead, actually.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=31) Ridiculous, isn't it? Absolutely ridiculous. I mean, if he's one lap down, he's not allowed to interfere in the battle for the lead. Completely idiotic.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=39) And despite that, a perfect race right from the start, yes, from him. Uh, they feared the damage was greater.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=45) He got closer once again, but it still wasn't quite enough.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=48) Such a shame, ultimately. Yes, he lost fifty points of downforce and still got closer again. But for such a fantastic drive to be punished by such stupidity is unbelievable.

[1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=60) Do you feel a bit robbed today as well after what the team achieved there?

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=64) Um, people thought the Reds would attack Mercedes, and then along came Max Verstappen with the turbo effect.

[1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=71) Yes, he had such speed and was cruising. No, it's such a shame. I don't understand it.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=79) Who, who are you going to take it up with now…

[1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=84) With…

[1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=86) We don't want to disturb. Who are you going to speak to now?

[1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=88) Are you going to give Ocon a talking-to now?

[1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/391FhiphsejT/en/helmut-marko-criticizes-ocon-after-verstappen-collision-in-brazil?t=90) Oh, I don't talk to that idiot at all. Thanks.
