2016 F1 World Champion Nico Rosberg reveals that the fierce interaction between Mercedes F1 team representative Toto Wolff and driver Lewis Hamilton following Friday’s qualifying for the F1 Emilia Romagna GP is beginning to frustrate the problem. Say that.
After both Lewis Hamilton and teammate George Russell were knocked out in Q2 of qualifying on Friday, Toto Wolff seemed to be hot in his interactions with Lewis Hamilton.
Mercedes F1 has endured a difficult start to the 2022 season. It is the first time since the 2012 F1 Japan GP that no Mercedes F1 car has advanced in Q3.
Former Mercedes F1 driver Nico Rosberg has suggested that the stress of problems with Mercedes F1 is beginning to lead to frustration.
“It’s very difficult to know what was said,” commented Nico Rosberg.
“Now, if I had to guess, Toto seemed frustrated regarding what Lewis did. That might be understandable.”
“Lewis may have complained regarding an outside Mercedes garage radio. They complained regarding cars and so on and didn’t follow his thoughts on what to do with the strategy.”
“Lewis got out of the car before the end of Q2. There’s still a 1% chance that the truck is still in good shape just before the end of qualifying. Perhaps Toto was angry regarding it.”
“It shows that stress is starting to get there. At this point it’s not moving forward, it’s actually moving backwards, almost two seconds late in yesterday’s qualifying.”
“Because the qualifying has deteriorated in 10 years, the tension naturally increases internally.”
Lewis Hamilton refused to share what was separated between himself and Toto Wolff following qualifying, claiming to be “internal.”
