It's not often an F1 driver hopes his car is damaged but George Russell's wish has come true.
“The way he T-boned him, we were surprised that it was not a DNF,” Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff said as per The Race.
“But we’ve just seen the front wing, it’s massively damaged. Not only the front wing endplate, but also below. And that’s the aero critical part.The Austrian also weighed in on Russell’s penalty for causing a collision. According to Wolff it was nothing more than a racing incident, one in which both drivers had a part to play given that Sainz “cut in quite brutally”.“If I was a steward I would look at it and it’s maybe, George had a late brake, maybe had a little understeer moment.
“Then Carlos cut in quite brutally. I don’t know if Max had an energy thing, so yeah it’s a shame, but we need to take it on the chin the five seconds and then the way he t-boned him, we were surprised that it was not a DNF.
