Plooy he conveyed these thoughts of his as well Wollf and asked him for clarification. “We didn’t broadcast that interview, but I talked to Toto Wolff about it. He got mad at me. Without hesitation, I asked him, ‘You collect engines. Bottas gets a new engine every weekend, and you collect them! ' He then replied, “No, you are on the wrong track. You're lying. '"
