While Lewis Hamilton was out early on at the 2024 United States Grand Prix, George Russell could make some overtakes stick at the Circuit of the Americas. However, the Briton received a five-second penalty, something Toto Wolff was not happy about.
Russell could overtake Valtteri Bottas into Turn 12, however, he pushed Valtteri Bottas wide in the process. As a result, he received a five-second penalty from the stewards.
Toto Wolff was not happy with the decision, and he decided to let his driver know over the team radio. "Total joke George with the penalty, total joke," the Austrian said.
