Toto Wolff praises “top of his game” Max Verstappen: ‘Going off but not DNF-ing is a skill'

Verstappen stormed to his fourth victory of F1 2023, beating 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso by over 20 seconds in difficult conditions.
It wasn’t an entirely straightforward weekend for Verstappen, who brushed the wall on a number of ☂occasions.
Verstappen’s latest triumph means Red Bull have won all six races so far this yea🅠r, building up a com🐼manding lead in both championships.
Speaking afꦦter Sunday’s Monaco GP, Wolff reiterated his view that F1 shouldn’t try to deliber𓄧ately reign in Red Bull, while praising Verstappen for his display.
“If we start putting in a balance of performance we will ruin this sport,” he said෴. “This is a meritocracy, best driver in the best car, spending the same amount of money, win the championship and if you break the rules in either you should be heavily penalised but only then – but not for doing a good job.”
“When you win in Formula 1 it is a meritocr𓂃acy and they [Red๊ Bull] have just done a good job.
“The car is fast in all conditions, the driver is at the top of his game, even today going off at times b🌳ut not dnf-ing is a sk𓆉ill. You can see that he pushed, so all credit to them.”
Mercedes introd𓂃uced a significant upgrade♊ package in Monaco, although the true gains from it are still unclear.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton finished fourth ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell in fifth.
“We just need to do a better job, we need to catch up, find intelliꦺgent solutions,” he added. “Hope that our learning slope, development slope is steeper than theirs and eventually fight for this again.
“Because it is a meritocrac🐭y it is what it is. It’s sport, whether it is good for the show or not?
“Obviously a strong fight between ten drivers or at least two, is much better for all of us but it is not happening that is why you ha🌳ve to just accept that and work to get ಞback there.”
