"I don't think this is done yet" - Wolff unsatisfied by Verstappen penalty

Toto Wolff has said that "this is not done yet" after several incidents between Max Verstappen and Sir Lewis Hamilton resulted in a penalty for Verstappen and victory for the seven-time champion. Wolff believes Hamilton was worth his win, telling Sky Sports, "I think he [Hamilton] deserved it. He could have been out a few times with a broken front wing and now I don't want to have dirty laundry on air but that was spectacular but not a good race."

Wolff also believes that we have not heard the final word on what was an extremely tense Grand Prix between the two title rivals, saying "No! I don't think that this is yet done," before adding: "The telemetry shows is that he [Max] is slowing down and then accelerating again and then slowing down. Asked if Hamilton was aware that Verstappen was letting him go Wolff said: "He [Lewis] did not know. It was the wrong sequence of messages that came through there."

Wolff questioned the stewards' decision-making but was also quick to appreciate that they are under intense pressure to make the right call. "When is a VSC called? When is an SC called? When is a red flag? Its very difficult to call from the stewards. But for us there was a certain level of bias at the beginning we had two laps under SC and then lost the position."

His main concern, however, was the driving standards of Verstappen: "Its the driving that needs to be looked and assessed. Its hard, very hard but its over the line hard. We want a clean championship, and if its Max at the end then I have piece with that. It just has to be a fair race."
