A group of Italian taxi driv🎀ers are unhappy with Toto Wolff after the Mercedes boss compared Max Verstappen t𒆙o them after his controversial clash with George Russell.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Verstappen’s deliberate collision wi﷽th Russꦯell during the latter stages of the race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya sparked an amusing comparison from Wolff.

After the race in Spain, Wolff 💧labelled Verstappen’s driving as “road r🐽age.”

“This is road rage, like the taxi drivers in Rome or Naples,” Wolff said as quoted by The🅠 Guardian.

An Italian journalist replied to Wolff💮 an💃d said: “We have improved a lot in Italy.”

Wolff said: “There’s a lot of aggression in the centre of Rome and Naples, withou𓄧t rules.”

Verstappen was hit with a 10-second time penalty and three penalty points on his licence for the incident, moving him on🧜e point away from a race ban.

newspaper, Loreno Bittarelli, president of Rome’s largest taxi cooperative, told Wolff to focus on his own team’s performance.

“Maybe it would be better if Wolff focu♔sed on [the performance] of his own team,” Bit⛎tarelli said.

Filt-Cgil’s Nicola Di Giacobbe also fired a shot at Wo🐷lff, saying: “We drive like a Mercedes since it only goes 30 miles an hour, just like us.”

Another taxi driver, Alessan♛dro, described Rome as🔴 a “jungle”, not an F1 track.

“We are the ones who are first in not hav✱ing accidents, otherwise we would lose our working day,” 🃏he said.

“ꦏI would like to see Formula One drivers manoeuvring around construction sites, scooters and golf carts the way we do. Rome is now a jungle, not a Formula♛ One track.”

Verstappen will head into next 𓄧weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix knowing ꦗthat he can’t afford to be involved in another incident.

The Dutchman will ♏see two of his existing 11 penalty points are remov🤡ed at the end of the month.
