• Hamilton’s v𒐪erdict on clash with “pretty slow” Perez: "Bit of a racing incident"

Like Hamilton, Wolff described the clash as a “racing incident”, however he was keen to focus on the positives from th🔯e 11-lap race.

“Well you know I’d rather have a quick c🐠ar that is doing good things and have a less optimal position in the sprint race than benefiting from others misfortunes and being unlucky,” he said. 

“I am OK with that. The incident was a r𓆏acing incid𒁃ent.

“You can see it from both sides. But it’s more a racing incident th✱an a﷽ penalty. Obviously that will be polarising.

Asked if Mercedes could appeal, he replied: "Once it is decided you can’t do anything. You🎶 have to move on."

It was a disastrous day for Perez, who had challenged 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly for third before the incident with Hamilton.

The collision resulted in significant side♉pod damage for Perez, ultimately forcing him out of the race.

• Brundꦦle questions “harsh” Hamilton penalty: “What can he do?”

Giving his opinion on it, he said: “Lewis just crღashed into me and took the whole right-hand side of my car off so we basically lost all of the load.

“Unfortunately that meant no points today.”

Team boss Christian Horner added: “Unfortunately 🍨the contact, left front to sidepod has put a big hole in [Perez's] sidepod and then you lose so much downforce.

“You could see he lost so much performance and we had no♔ choice but to retire the car. That was very unfortunate.”
