MONACO : Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff joked that a Monaco Grand Prix crane operator must have been trained by the 'Cirque du Soleil' after Lewis Hamilton's car was lifted sky high following a crash in final practice.
"Whoever performed the crane has probably worked for Cirque du Soleil before," Wolff told reporters, before emphasising his support of marshals who are famed for their ability to remove cars quickly. It should have been raced at Italy's Imola circuit last weekend but that race was cancelled due to devastating floods in the region.
