Mercedes boss Toto Wolff is far from happy with Red Bull’s protest of George Russell’s Canadian Grand Prix victory.
Toto Wolff criticized Red Bull as “petty and embarrassing” for protesting George Russell’s Canadian Grand Prix win, claiming unsportsmanlike conduct.
Red Bull’s protest alleged that Russell had fallen more than 10 car lengths behind the safety car, which was later withdrawn.
Despite the protest being dismissed, Red Bull believed Russell slowed down to potentially give Max Verstappen a penalty point for a race ban.
Wolff expressed his dissatisfaction with Red Bull’s actions, calling them “far-fetched” and unnecessary.
He stated that racing wins and losses should be decided on track fairly, without the need for such protests.
In response, Christian Horner defended Red Bull’s decision to protest, stating it was within the team’s rights to do so.
He emphasized that they saw something they deemed not right and had no regrets about bringing it to the stewards’ attention.
