Toto Wolff says F1 teams are 'vomit bags' for angry drivers to vent out their frustration following Lewis Hamilton's radio outburst in the DutchGP
The situation had further shifted against Hamilton when his teammate, who had initially been behind him and could have acted as a buffer to Verstappen, was stopped for fresh softs too.
But Wolff brushed off there being any problem with how Hamilton had reacted, as he said that teams need to understand that it is inevitable drivers have to vent feelings when things go wrong. “We have sat together; and we discussed the race strategy,” he said. “It was something that this morning we decided to take a risk.
“It is so tremendously difficult to really make the right judgement call and especially if you have two drivers that are competing against each other also there.
