Toto Wolff took a rather light-hearted view on the crane handiwork which showed off the new floor on the Mercedes W14 in Monaco. mercedesf1 monacogp Formula1 f1

Though the main talking point of Mercedes’ new-look W14 for Monaco has been the sidepods, with their ‘zero-pod’ concept which they stuck with since the start of these ground effect regulations no more, that was certainly not the only area of alteration.+

And Lewis Hamilton would unwillingly treat rivals to a crystal clear look at the underside of that W14, when having crashed out of the final practice session, his stricken Mercedes was hoisted airborne by the crane to give photographers that perfect shot of the floor. Wolff though was taking it in pretty good spirits, joking that the crane operator must have come courtesy of the Cirque du Soleil considering how the W14 hung straight, also pointing out that the option to put the W14 onto a truck for removal was bypassed.

Clarifying his support for the marshals that were indeed “doing their best”, Wolff did have a further observation relating to Red Bull, with Sergio Perez’s RB19 having required removal when he crashed out of Q1 down at Turn 1.
