Wolff makes remarkable statement: 'He represents Mercedes'

Toto Wolff made a remarkable statement during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The team boss apologised to Lewis Hamilton for the 'shit box' he had delivered to the factory. Jan Lammers finds it unbelievable that the team boss put it this way, he tells in the NOS Formula 1-podcast.

The German team may have finished third and fourth, but it was far from easy. The team suffered so much from porpoising that Hamilton and George Russell left the car with back pain. Lammers does not understand Wolff's subsequent words, however. "I am dumbfounded," said the former Formula One driver.

Russell's third place means he is slowly closing in on Charles Leclerc in the world championship. The Monegasque is in third place with 116 points, while the Briton has seventeen points less. This weekend's GP in Canada will see Russell again hoping for a podium finish.
