Toto Wolff praised Charles Leclerc and Ferrari for their “sportsmanlike behaviour” as the battle for second in the F1 constructors’ championship went down to the final lap.
The battle for second place in the constructors’ championship was intense during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was in second place, ahead of Sergio Perez, who had a penalty, and beating George Russell to third would have secured second for Ferrari. Leclerc assisted Perez by giving him DRS to help him build a gap, but it wasn’t enough as Russell stayed within five seconds, allowing Mercedes to secure second place in the championship. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff praised both teams and their drivers for their performance and sportsmanship during the race. He described finishing second as a great achievement and a feeling of victory for the team, although as racers, they always want more.
