Toto Wolff has laugh☂ed off the suggestion the 'T-wing' on the Mercrdes W08 is unsafe after the team was forced to strengthen it ahead of qualifying following a Friday breakage.

The controversial aerodynamic device broke off Valtteri Bottas' car during Friday practice, with the follꦬowing Max Verstappen collecting the debris and damaging his Red Bull RB13. It is the second event in succession Mercedes has suffered a failure.

Drawing the ire of Christian Horner, who called on the devices to be banned on the grounds of safety, Mercedes was instructed by the FIA to prove it had made definitive changes to the device to ensure it doesn't break off again, with Wol👍ff confirming it had pas♉sed inspections.
