the race of Australian Grand Prix turned into chaos by red flags, the relaunched output and everything that happened after. There were many protests, such as those of Fernando Alonso over the radio. Also those of Toto WolffMercedes boss.
The Austrian says that “must be analysed” everything that happened in Albert Park, although he maintains that the red flags “do give a show”: “We have to analyze what has happened with the red flags.”
“If you look at them as a show factor, everything has been good, but today maybe it was too much. When we have stopped George, We have done the right thing and he could have struggled in the upper zone, but he had that problem with the power unit”, he expressed.
Controversies aside, Wolff celebrated the performance of his car in this test, with lewis hamilton climbing to the second box of the podium ahead of Alonso’s Aston Martin.
“We’ve had a good pace in Australia and we’ve been very close to Aston Martin and Ferrari. It’s good news for us and I think we’ve taken a step forward this weekend, both in one lap and in race pace,” said the head of the Silver Arrows.
“We maximized what we had and now we must continue working to understand the car. It will help us make further improvements and fight with the leaders more often,” he concluded.
