Wolff slams Binotto: "What complete nonsense again"
- GPblog.com
Ferrari was still supreme at this time of year last season, especially in qualifying. Their engine positions during an ultimate lap were unrivalled. Mattia Binotto admitted this week that the clarification of the rules for this did indeed hurt them. At Toto Wolff that led to a fierce reaction this weekend.
"That's complete nonsense again," Wolff told Motorsport.com and others this weekend. "The rules for the power source were clear to anyone who obeyed the rules. The irony is that they took us to an absolute new level. It almost brought us to a burn-out last year."
Angry Wolff
Wolff points to the enormous lead of his team in Hungary how much they benefit from that now. But it is clear that the matter of the Ferrari engine is still bothering him, especially after the secret agreement between the Italians and the FIA. That's why he's also aiming at Ferrari's comments about the negotiations on the new Concorde Agreement.
"They make a fool of themselves with those comments", says Wolff about the fact that Ferrari and McLaren have indicated that they are ready to sign, but that some other teams are still undecided. This refers to Mercedes, which is not yet completely satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations.
