Wolff fiercely defended organisers of F1’s newest race after Thursday’s opening practice session was cancelled after a loose manhole cover badly damaged 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Esteban Ocon’s Alpine. 

In a168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: remarkable rant, the🔜 Mercedes boss raged at a journalist for suggesting the ဣincident was a “black eye” for the sport. 

Wolff described the damage to Sainz’s car as a “shame” but Veℱrstappen reckons he would have reacted very differently had one of his cars been involved. 

“That is true of course, that it happened before, but you’re supposed to learn from that,” the triple worl🌱d champion told Viaplay. 

“You know that when you go to a street circuit, such things could🍸 cause p❀roblems. So you should be prepared for that.

“And I think if it wa🌜s his car, he would have spoken differently. But I don’t expect anything less from him.

“We would have been very angry too, like Ferrari. Absolute🌳ly, the entire car is ruined. Carlos also said that he didn’t feel his legs for a couple of seconds, so the accident could have been a lot worse.”

In the post-qualifying press conference, Verstappen called for rule changes and labelled Sainz’s 10-place grid penalty as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“very harsh”. 

It is not the first timꦿe Verstappen and Wolff have clashed by having polar opposite views this season.&nb🧸sp;

Verstappen previously shrugged off Wolff’s dismi💧ssive comments about his record winning streak after the Austrian suggested the historic feat was simply “for Wikipedia” following September’s Italian Grand Prix.

Ahead of the following race 💖in Si꧟ngapore, the Dutchman retorted: "No, I'm not disappointed in that. 

"I mean they had a pretty s*** r💧ace, so probably he was 🙈still p***** off with their performance."
