It was a chaotic weekend for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes in Brazil. The last word has not been spoken yet, according to Toto Wolff. The team boss of the German formation suspects that an official protest from Red Bull Racing will follow concerning the rear wing of the W12.
"Let‘s see if some more funny things happen. A protest," Wolff told Sky's German branch. He is then asked if he thinks it will come to that."They [Red Bull] are going in and out of the FIA offices. It‘s okay. They can take it [the rear wing] and cut it at home."

Wolff furious

Wolff is not happy with the race management anyway. According to the Austrian, there is no fair dealing."It's an absolute mess, we get a penalty, Red Bull are happily tinkering with the car, Lewis is being forced off the road, there's no penalty - it's embarrassing," he lashed out at Sky Sports.
The next Grand Prix is next week. The second last race of the season will be held in Qatar. Whether Mercedes' rear wing will be investigated further then, we will have to wait and see. "The car is completely legal, and we are happy to drive it anywhere," Wolff concludes.
