Wolff fiercely defended organisers of F1’s newest race after Thursday’s opening practice session was cancelled after a loose manhole cover badly damaged 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Esteban Ocon’s Alpine. 

In a168澳洲5最新开奖结果: remarkable rant, the Mercedes boss raged at a journalist for suggesting🐎 the incident꧒ was a “black eye” for the sport. 

Wolff described the dam൩age to Sainz’s car as a “shame” but Verstappen reckons he woulꦚd have reacted very differently had one of his cars been involved. 

“That is true of course, that it ha💝ppened before, but you’re supposed to learn from that,” the triple world champion told Viaplay. 

“You know th🅷at when you go to a street circuit, such things could cause problems. So you should be prepared for that.

“And I think if it was his car, h♚e would ha😼ve spoken differently. But I don’t expect anything less from him.

“We would hav🦩e been very angry too, like Fꦯerrari. Absolutely, the entire car is ruined. Carlos also said that he didn’t feel his legs for a couple of seconds, so the accident could have been a lot worse.”

In the post-qualifying press conference, Verstappen called for rule changes and labelled Sainz’s 10-place grid penalty as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“very harsh”. 

It is not the ꩲfirst time Verstappen and Wolff have clashed by havin♚g polar opposite views this season. 

Verstappen previously shrugged off Wolff’s dismissive comments about his record winning streak after the Austrꦛian suggested the historic feat was simply “for Wikipedia” following September’s Italian Grand Prix.

A𒊎head of the following race in Sin꧃gapore, the Dutchman retorted: "No, I'm not disappointed in that. 

"I mean they had a pretty s*** race, so probably he was still p***** off 𒅌wi📖th their performance."
