Toto Wolff has ‘moved on’ from “polarising” Lewis Hamilton-Sergio Perez incident
Hamilton finished fourth on track at Spa-Francorchamps but was hit with a five-second time penalty for an incident with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez.
Like Hamilton, Wolff described the clash as a “racing incident”, however he was keen to focus on the positives from ඣthe 11-lap race.
“Well you know I’d rather have a quick car that is doing good things and have a less optimal position in the sprint race than b꧃enefiting from others misfortunes and being unluck♋y,” he said.
“I am OK wi🅠th that. The incident was a racing incid🔯ent.
“You can see it from ൩both sides. But it’s more a racing incident than a penalty. Obviously that wil🤡l be polarising.
Asked if Mercedes could appeal, he replied: "Once it is decided you can’t do anything. You have t💝o move on."
It was a disastrous day for Perez, who had challenged 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly for third before the incident with Hamilton.
The col𓆏lision resulted in significant sidepod damage for Per🅠ez, ultimately forcing him out of the race.
Giving his opinion on it, he said: “Lewis just crashed into me and took the whole right-hand side of my car off so 🐻we basically lost all of the load.
“Unfortunately that meant no points today.”
Team b𓂃oss Christian Horner added: “Unfortunately ℱthe contact, left front to sidepod has put a big hole in [Perez's] sidepod and then you lose so much downforce.
“You could see 💃he lost so much performance and we had no choice but to retire the carꦿ. That was very unfortunate.”
