Mercedes Boss Toto Wolff branded the Red Bull protest on the Canadian Grand Prix “Petti” and “shame”, but his colleague Christian Horner insists that his team “did not regret”.
Red Bull caused George Russell’s victory in Montreal on Sunday, stating that he had violated regulations and that both driving effectively and committed unsportsmanlike behavior behind the security car, who later kicked the warden.
It was signed in this season that Red Bull filed a protest against Russell, with their appeal against the Grand Prik in Miami, she also refused.
“First of all, the racing should have raided the Red Bull for two hours before they started protest, so it was in their radio,” You are so small, “Wolff said Ski Sports In New York on starting a new F1 film.
“They did it in Miami. They now launched two protests. They took one back because it was funny.
“They think of some strange clauses, what they call the clause. I guess FIA should look at it because it is so far away.
“You know, run, win and lose on the way. It was a fair victory for us, as well as they had in the past. And it’s just embarrassing.”
Russell claimed that Mercedes was the first victory of the season in Montreal, in front of the four-year-old Red Bull Champions Max Verstappen.
Asked if the Red Bull protests should be rejected faster, WOLFF added:
“One of them actually pulled out as a protest, even they didn’t even go, because it was nonsense.
“Another took us five hours because I don’t even know what you’re referring to” unsportsmanlike behavior “or something about it? Because I’m 100 percent, it’s not 100 percent I’m sure it’s not Max.
“He would never go to the protest on such a trivial thing.”
Horner: Red Bull has no regrets
Also in that Ski Sports In New York, Red Bull’s Horner insisted that “not regretting” about his actions.
“No, absolutely not (no regret),” he said. “I mean, it’s the right team to do it. You know, we saw something we didn’t think it was okay.
“You have the opportunity to put it in front of the warden and that’s what we decided to do. He absolutely doesn’t regret it.”
He asked about Verstappen’s chance to add the fifth world in the world this season, Horner added that it was still a long way.
The Dutch sits third in the driver table, behind McLaren Para Oscar Piastra and Lando Norris.
“We’re not even halfway. We had a good weekend in Barcelona. We obviously won the Iowa a few wipes, and as the week proved, it can still happen on Sunday.
“You just have to hang out. It’s a long championship. We’re not giving up anything, keep fighting to the very end. If one person will do it, it will definitely be Max.”
Asked about incidents in Montreal, Russell said Ski Sports:
“I don’t think Max even knew the protest even further. So I don’t know what happened, what they meant.
“I’m glad nothing happened that way. There was only a little thicker time of all time. And two guys working for it, they both missed the flights last night and everything.
“It was just a little crazy for everything. But it’s now, the eyes forward.
“I feel I’m really doing well. I feel good with the team. Who knows what will happen, margins are so close right now.”
