Italian Grand Prix 2022: Toto Wolff on Safety Car and Abu Dhabi - “This time, they followed the rules…”
The 2021 championship was won by Max Verstappen in the finale in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Abu Dhabi when race director Michael Masi's incorrect application of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Safety Car rule meant Lewis Hamilton was overtaken and denied a record eighth 𒈔title. Masi has since left his job with the 🌞FIA.
In Monza this weekend, the race again ended with a Safety Car but the rule was applied differently - and💃 correctly - ꦗby not permitting any overtakes. Verstappen was able to win the race ahead of Charles Leclerc.
“The race director’s call will be criticised,” 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes team principal Wolff told Sky afterwards.
“This time, they followed the rules.
“Ma꧃ybe they could have done it a lap earlier or let [George Russell] through. But at least they followed the rules.
“They accepted that the race🅠 endꦛed with a Safety Car. This is how it should be.”
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Red Bull boss 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Christian Horner said ღto Sky: “It’s the polar opposite of what happened in Abu Dhabi.
“They had more than enough time to get it going.
“We don’t want to win a race under a Safety Car.
“It’s something we’ve spoken ab♔out for years. We should finish racing. There was enough time to get racing🐼.
“We had the faster car, we would have liked to win�🔴� the race on the track, not behind a Safety Car.
“We share the disappointment of the fans.”
