The title fight between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton is getting more and more fierce. In Monza, the drivers crashed together in the first chicane. Helmut Marko and Lewis Hamilton had a row with each other in the media afterwards. Toto Wolff now joins the discussion and points at Verstappen.
Wolff joins discussion
Dr Helmut Marko, Red Bull Racing's advisor, criticised Hamilton after the crash at Monza. Marko thought the driver was acting out. Hamilton responded to Marko by saying he never claimed he was dying.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff backs his driver and lashes out at rival Verstappen. OE24 quotes the Austrian: "He [Hamilton, ed.] is fine. His neck is still a bit stiff, but that's only normal."
Verstappen does the same as Hamilton
Wolff is surprised by the crash and can well imagine Hamilton's anger at his rival: "In Silverstone Max complained that Hamilton had supposedly not asked about how he was after the crash. Now he's doing the same thing!"
Wolff is clear about the feud and knows there is nothing left to make up between the two: "They won't be friends anymore." The same, according to OE24, goes for Wolff himself and Helmut Marko.
