Alongside George Russell, who was unvoluntarily at the center of the dischord at the time, the Austrian asked the Briton if he could tell the story.

"That's up to you," replied Russell laughing, before clarifying, "It doesn't affect me."

Wolff then revealed that despite the nature of the story, it was nevertheless true. "It's a somewhat embarrassing story, but it's what happened."

The Austrian cited his upbringing as the reason behind the way he handled the whole afffair.

Wolff then clarified one the traits that define him as, not only Mercedes' leader, but also as tha patriarch of his family structure.

"Conversely, I myself need the support of my team just as much," concluded the Austrian.
