Mercedes boss Wolff explains "f*** them all" radio message after F1 sprint
Hamilton was sent to the back of the grid for the Saturday sprint race after his car was found to have breached a DRS technical i🦹nfringement following qualifying at the Sao ꧅Paulo Grand Prix.
But the seven-time world champioඣn recovered superbly to pull off 15 overtakes in just 23 laps on his charge to fift🍌h. Hamilton will start Sunday’s grand prix from 10th due to changing his engine ahead of the weekend.
After the sprint race, Wolff said over team radio: “Lewis brilliant job, damage limitation. Fuck them all,” to which Hamilton re♉plied: “Copy. It’s not over yet.”
When a൲sked if his message was one of frustration due to feeling hard done by🌺, Wolff replied: “I obviously didn’t mean it towards any of the regulations.
“It is generally a mindset we have that that sometimes when there is hardship you need to bu🐼ild up resilience, and that is meant by saying fuck them all.

“Yesterday the car was being tested and today two hours before the race we got the iღnformation we were disqualified and that is, in a way, sad, because there’s procedures in Formula 1 - a certain modus operandi - and a protocol you have to follow.
“And we had a car that wasn’t in breach of regulations of the 85mm slot gap. We failed successive tests by the tiniest of margins and in the past that would have meant fﷺix it.
“We have seen it with the Red Bull rear wing last weekend. We have had many bargeboard things or failures that were bein🌞g put back because the FIA has our cut drawings of the wings.
“We wanted t💯o leave the wing with them so they could cut it into 1000 pieces, but we weren’t allowed to look at the wing because it was simply damaged through the qualifying session. None of these arguments counted.
“To be fair enough sಞtewards did the job, we failed that one test, and ♕their argument needs to be respected.”
Meanwhile, Hamilton’s race engineer Peter Bonnington had a cheeky dig at Max Verstappen's €50,000 fine for touching Hamilton's r🍬ear wing in parc ferme after qualifying.
"Lewis just make sure you don't touch any of the other cars or check them out in any way," he🎉 said as Hamilton parked up at the end of the race.
