Red Bull Racing advisor Helmut Marko has admitted Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen disagrees with their decision to demote teammate Liam Lawson.

The four-time drivers championship winner liked an Instagram post by former F1 racer Giedo [gee-ay-doe - hard g] van der Garde defending Lawson after he was axed in favour of Yuki Tsunoda ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix.

Marko's since confirmed to a German-speaking publication that Verstappen is against the move.
