Toto Wolff believes F1 drivers like Max Verstappen will always “exploit” the rulebook when it is left open to interpretation.
Toto Wolff believes that drivers like Max Verstappen will exploit rules when they allow a certain form of racing. The Mercedes boss thinks that the penalties given out during the Mexico City Grand Prix will deter such behavior. Verstappen received two 10-second penalties for incidents involving Lando Norris. Wolff noted that the handling of Verstappen’s aggressive racing style was different in Mexico compared to previous races. He suggests that the recent enforcement of regulations will lead to a change in how drivers approach racing in the future. Wolff emphasized that the Mexico City Grand Prix has set a new standard for steward decisions in Formula 1. Drivers will meet before the Qatar Grand Prix to review driving guidelines, but Wolff believes that changes will happen sooner due to the recent penalties imposed.
