• Hamilton’s verd🎃ict on clash w🧔ith “pretty slow” Perez: "Bit of a racing incident"

Like Hamilton, Wolff described the clash as a “racing incide🦩nt”, however he was keen to focus on the positives from the 11-lap race.

“Well you know I’d rather have a quick car that is doing good things and have a less optimal position in t🍎he s🎐print race than benefiting from others misfortunes and being unlucky,” he said. 

“I ⭕am OK with tha♉t. The incident was a racing incident.

“You can 𓂃see it from both sides. But it’s more a racing incident than a penalty. ꦫObviously that will be polarising.

Asked if Mercedes could appeal, he replied: "Once it is decided you can🦄’t do anything. You have to move on."

It was a disastrous day for Perez, who had challenged 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly for third before the incident with Hamilton.

The collision resulted in significant sidepod dama🐎ge for Perez, ultimately forcing him out of the race.

Giving his opinion on it, he said: “Lewis just crashed into me and ꦏtook the whole right-hand side of my car off so we basically lost all of the load.

“Unfortunately that meant no points today.”

Team b🔴oss Christian Horner added: “Unfortunat🌳ely the contact, left front to sidepod has put a big hole in [Perez's] sidepod and then you lose so much downforce.

“You could see he lo🎃st so much performance and we had no choice but to retire the car. That was very unfortunate.”
