SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Christian Horner showed little sympathy for Lewis Hamilton after the world champion complained about Ferrari's engine advantage after the Belgian Grand Prix.
Hamilton referred to "a few trick things" Ferrari has in its engine after his defeat by main title rival Vettel at the Spa race on Sunday, although he later clarified that he had not been insinuating the Italian team is doing anything illegal. Until this year Mercedes has been the benchmark engine since the introduction of hybrid V6 turbos in 2014.
Hamilton still leads the championship over Vettel but Ferrari will be optimistic of carrying the advantage over to this weekend's race on home turf, the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
