🗣️ 'Whether I am Abu Dhabi traumatised or not, these rules have been followed to the dot' Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has backed the decisions made by FIA race control at the end of the ItalianGP ⬇️
Fans at the track made their reaction clear with boos and whistles. However, while rival team bosses questioned how events unfolded, Wolff was adamant that everything had been done by the book.
"There was a car out on track, there were marshals and a crane out there. That's why they didn't let anybody overtake. “But then we need to change the regulations. So I don't think we should complain about anything that happened because this is the rules.” “So at least Abu Dhabi, in that sense, gave the FIA more robust confidence to apply the regulations.”Asked by Autosport if race control could have red flagged the race in order to ensure a green flag finish, Wolff dismissed the suggestion.
