The Mercedes team principal missed the Japanese Grand Prix to undergo a knee operation, and he is♔ also not in Qatar this weekend. 

Wolff ha๊s been advised not to travel during his rehabilitation period.  

It is not the first time that Wol🦂ff has skipped F1 races - he was also not 🍎on site at last year’s Japanese and Brazilian Grands Prix. 

Despite Wolff not being present in person, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton said that he is still heavily involved in Merced🍨es’ weekend. 

"Tot💛o's in every meeting,” the seven-ti﷽me world champion said. 

"Even though he's not here in p💙erson...he's a part of every single meeting. 

“He will dial in to the meeting tomorrow morni൩ng, he will be in the meeting in the afternoon, he's on the comms just like the guys back at the factory are for 🎉strategy.

"He's still fully 100% fully part of it, he's just not physically there in the country. He speaks in all of🦩 those meetings just as he does when he's here.”

Ham♊ilton added: “He's worked incredibly hard to set up this team to be where it is today.

“And he should be able to have weekends off without a problem. He'ℱs the boss. Shoot, if I owned the team, I'll d🌜efinitely take weekends off!

“Not that he's taking the weekend off. But you know what I mean? He has 🦋the right to if he wanted to, but ꧟it’s just because he's recovering.

“I just tel📖l him we'll be pushing. I just always tell him, don't worry, you set up a great team, we'll try do you proud this weekend."
