Toto Wolff has laughed off the suggestion the 'T-wing' 🦄on the Mercrdes W08 is unsafe after the team was forced to strengthen it ahead of qualify🐻ing following a Friday breakage.

The controversial aerodynamic device broke off Valtteri Bottas' car during Friday practice, with the following Max Verstappen collec෴ting the debris and damaging his Red Bull RB13. It is the second event in succession Mercedes has suffered a failu🥃re.

Drawing the ire of Christian Horner, who called on the devices to be banned on the grounds of safety, Mercedes was instructed by the FIA to prove it had made definitive changes to the device to ensure it doesn't ܫbreak off again, with Wolffღ confirming it had passed inspections.

"We fixed th🐲e problem, it's been strengthened. You couldn't take 🌺it off with a baseball bat now, so it should be okay."

Touching on Horner's criticism after he told ltxcn.top that he doesn't expect FIA Race Director Charlie Whiting to take advant꧑age of a 'good opportunity' to ban the 'wing', Wolff said there i𓂃s little surprise he is trying to rid the sport of the device.

"It's clear that Christian needs to do that because you're trying🌞 to take parts off from other cars that function and it's perfectly understandable"
