And so moves the story...

Lewis Hamilton lobbied Red Bull boss Christian Horner to replace Pierre Gasly with Alexander Albon during the 2019 Formula 1 season, according to team advisor Helmut Marko.
Hamilton, who said after Gasly’s win in Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix that the Frenchman hadn’t been “treated fairly” by the energy drinks outfit last season, is alleged by Marko to have been playing a very different tune last season.
“Lewis spoke to our team boss Christian Horner on the plane and recommended that Albon be put in the car instead of Pierre Gasly,” he told Sport1. “That was before the swap was carried out by us after the summer break.”
A week later, Gasly was swapped with Albon, and Marko has not forgotten Hamilton’s remarks, indicating that the Briton would be better served keeping his mouth shut.
“We don’t care. The one he wanted to get rid of last summer has now won the Italian Grand Prix with our AlphaTauri team. So much for his expertise.
“I have no idea why Hamilton always feels the need to interfere. But it doesn’t matter to us what opinion people from the outside have.”
If it was such a bad idea, why did they do it? Helmut must be really gullible
He says what sassy ham suggested them to do, but he don't say "we did what he said. " Everyone was talking about that swap so it was not some brilliant thing.
I have no idea why Hamilton always feels the need to interfere
I think there is something makes Ham such a sassy person that he can go to stewards when all drivers waiting race start. If there is something to talk with them toto or someone else who has administrative mission can go and talk.
Their penalty was so late that I thought they will penalty pitlane indicators by accusing they worked wrong because of some issue and let ham to enjoy what he did. Maybe ham himself also wondered why this not happened.
