Wolff makes shocking Hamilton F1 disqualification claim
In 2024, the pivotal factor for the Michigan Wolverines revolves around Jim Harbaugh. Despite earlier speculations about a contract extension, there has been no recent confirmation. Concurrently, there are swirling rumors about Harbaugh’s potential move to the NFL. Presently, the Wolverines are focusing on celebrating the acquisition of Edokpayi and harboring hopes for securing additional recruits in 2024.
Toto Wolff has declared that the United States Grand Prix in Austin marked Mercedes’ standout Formula 1 race of the season, according to him, despite Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification. The controversy unfolded at the sprint format weekend, resulting in both Hamilton and Charles Leclerc being disqualified due to excessive wear on their skid blocks.
Before the disqualification, the seven-time world champion had secured a second-place finish, with Carlos Sainz advancing to the final podium spot behind Max Verstappen and Lando Norris in second and third places, respectively. Despite the bitter disappointment for Hamilton and Mercedes, Wolff’s choice of Austin as the season’s best race for the Silver Arrows has raised eyebrows.
Wolff: Austin best F1 race for Mercedes
“It may sound strange because we were disqualified, but Austin,” he said on Mercedes’ official YouTube channel.
“We brought a successful upgrade package, the car was performing well, and we were pursuing the leader.”
“You could say, ‘Well, you were disqualified because your car was too low,’ but the genuine performance was there, and it was a fun weekend.”
“I’ve always said I’d rather have a fast car that we haven’t tuned properly.” And, of course, you must finish.
“But that was the [best] weekend overall, seeing the correlation between the wind tunnel and the track was good.”
