Wolff warns Red Bull: 'Diplomacy has ended today'

Mercedes were in the thick of things during the Brazilian Grand Prix. Not only did Lewis Hamilton receive a grid penalty for replacing his combustion engine, but he was also disqualified for a DRS infringement. It is causing a lot of anger for Toto Wolff.

The team boss could not suppress his anger on Sunday night when Hamilton drove past Verstappen. According to Wolff, the blame for the disqualification lies mainly with the race management who are allegedly against Mercedes. In conversation with Autosport.com Wolff says he wants to continue defending his team.

"I don’t want to moan here, because that is not how I see the sport. I think we’ve just had many, many punches in the face this weekend with decisions that could have swung either side, against us or for us," he says in the interview.

Wolff doesn't want to hold back anymore

According to Wolff, this is not for the first time this season. "When always the decisions swing against you, it’s just something that I’m just angry about, and I will defend my team, my drivers to what comes. I’ve always been very diplomatic in how I discuss things. But diplomacy has ended today."
