They also responded to the developments in the qualifications MotoGP, where this kind of "slacking" of racers is a normal part of the qualification procedure, with the difference that racers who drive too slowly cannot avoid punishment.
It's on the other side was Toto Wolff, head of the Mercedes F1 team, surprised and disappointed with what was happening in the last part of the qualifications. "With this, we took away the most exciting part of the qualifications for the fans, the last fast lap, where the rosad comes and is therefore indispensable for the interestingness of the competition. We have never seen anything so absurd and I think that such actions do not bring anything good to either the teams or the racers. " Wolff was sharp.
The whole event was, of course, spiced up by the racers and their engineers on the radio, where there was no shortage of interesting statements and angry reactions.
He was also punished for his trip off the track Kimi Räikönen, who damaged his car considerably and was therefore forced to change the gearbox, which will cost him five starting places. Sam said the following about the event: “The car is quite damaged, which is especially embarrassing as my qualifications were good. I made a mistake in the corner and the car escaped me. I exaggerated and that is why I have to pay the appropriate price now. "
Robert Kubica accepted with black humor the fact that they had no trouble finding a breeze: “The other teams obviously don’t mind if a Williams race car is driving in their breeze. Let's be realistic, no direct competitor wants to "pull" a competitor in a competitive race car, and we are so far behind that everyone doesn't care. " Asked whether the Mercedes engine would be more helpful in qualifying or in the race, the Pole said in the spirit of British black humor: "I don't think the engine can help us anymore. "
