Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has delivered his verdict on recent comments by fellow Austrian and Red Bull F1 advisor Helmut Marko.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has reiterated his criticism of Helmut Marko’s controversial comments about Sergio Perez, describing the Red Bull advisor’s statement as “madness” in this day and age.
It emerged ahead of the Singapore GP that Marko had met with Perez to apologise personally, with Mercedes leading the criticism of the 80-year-old.“the mindset that you can even come up with these things and that hasn’t got any place in Formula 1.”: “Such statements are madness in our time. They can’t be excused by his age. But I think he has learned his lesson.”
Wolff, who is not in attendance in Lusail as he continues his recovery from recent knee surgery, appeared to discredit the Red Bull driver’s achievements after Verstappen took a record 10th straight win at last month’s Italian GP, claiming such numbers are only relevant on Wikipedia.Train like an F1 driver: An eye-opening experience into the insane fitness levels
