Wolff: “It was okay that Verstappen was on Hamilton’s rear wing”

It was an emotional rollercoaster in Brazil, as both Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen faced penalties. The Briton had a non-compliant DRS system, while his Red Bull rival had touched Hamilton’s rear wing.

In the end Hamilton was disqualified and Verstappen was fined 50,000 euros. According to Toto Wolff, that amount is nothing for the Dutchman.

“A fine of 50,000 euros for someone with a solid salary… I don’t think he will lose sleep over it. I don’t want to go on too long about someone who stroked our car,” he said in conversation. with, inter alia RacingNews365.

Wolff can live with Verstappen’s touch

The Mercedes team boss can live with the fact that the Red Bull man sat on the rear wing of his star driver, but emphasizes that the rules say it is not allowed.

“I don’t think it has had an effect, probably not. Max has at most stroked the car and that’s okay, but of course the cars are in parc fermé”, the Austrian points out the rules.

He would not have liked to be the one to judge. “It’s against the rules and it’s very difficult to judge. I would not have liked to be in the shoes of the stewards in this special situation.”
