It markedꩵ the Dutchman’s 12th victory from 14 races in the 2023 season amid his charge towards a third world title in a row. 

But Wolff was not overly impressed by Verstappen’s hi🍸storic achievement. 

“Our situation was a little bit 🌟different because we had two guys fighting against each other within the team,” Wolff told Sky, in a subtle dig towards Red Bull’s ongoing domination.

“I don’t know whether he [Verstappen] cares about the record. It’s not something that would bothe𒅌r me, any of those numbers. 

"It’s for Wikipedia - nobody reads that, anyway.”

It proved to be a difficult race for Mercedes, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell taking a low-key fifth, one place ahead of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton

“Lots of incidents. You have to be careful not to🍒 be too happy about fifth and sixth,” Wolff said of Mercedes’ race🐈. 

“I think we maꩵximised the points, for what was there today.”

Both Russell and Hamilton picked up five-second time penalties for separate infringements💫, which ultimately had no impact on their result. 

“I think both penal🧸ties you can justify,” Wolff admitted. “We will look at data for how we can prevent it in the future.”
