Wolff defends Vettel after criticism

With Sebastian Vettel being criticized from all angles for his aggressive style of racing, the German has received support from an unexpected corner as Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff defended the four-time champion.

Vettel had another collision last weekend, as his Ferrari ran into Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes, causing Vettel to spin and to pit after one lap to fix his nose. It threw away his chances to win, causing the German to receive a flood wave of criticism from the media for his driving. His biggest competitor, however, understands why Vettel made these mistakes, as it's simply an outcome of racing at the highest level.

"He has the ambition to always win and with that comes aggression," Wolff explained to Sport1.

Wolff has sympathy for his biggest rival, despite Vettel's collisions costing Ferrari, literally and figuratively.
