F1 LIVE: Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes agree two deals, Red Bull fires shots at Brit

Red Bull chief Helmut Marko has fired Lewis Hamilton after the seven-time world champion claimed teams should only be allowed to work on their car the following season from August 1 each year .

"I think the FIA should probably set a time when everyone is allowed to start developing next year's car," Hamilton told Sky F1. "So August 1st is when everyone can start, so that no one can take advantage of the next year. Because it sucks."

And Marko came back to Hamilton saying, "We weren't talking about that when he was winning his championships, were we? So I don't think we should now. That's how the game works. Formula 1.

"It's normal, of course, [that] the people behind say this stuff, but they also shouldn't forget what it was like when they won and if people commented on this stuff, they would probably comment a little different, but that's how it is in Formula 1."
