Mercedes risked ‘looking like idiots, like Ferrari did’ at Monza – Wolff | Formula 1

Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, has voiced his concerns regarding the possibility of his drivers clashing on the track, similar to a recent incident involving Ferrari teammates at the Italian Grand Prix. He emphasized the importance of avoiding such conflicts, particularly after Charles Leclerc acknowledged that he should not have pushed Lewis Hamilton off the track during the race.

Wolff noted that Mercedes drivers came close to a similar situation when George Russell was nearly caught by Andrea Kimi Antonelli in the closing laps. This incident highlighted the risks of on-track battles and the need for team cohesion to prevent any detrimental outcomes during races.
