WOLFF TOLD ROSBERG, HAMILTON TO COOL IT
MERCEDES team chief Toto Wolff revealed he had told warring teammates Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton to avoid a collision in yesterday’s Mexican Grand Prix won from pole position by the 30-year-old German. Wolff said the drivers were made “absolutely aware” of how to behave before the race in which newlycrowned world champion Hamilton resisted any temptation to mount a wheel-banging challenge to Rosberg, as he did at the first corner of the United States Grand prix in Texas seven days earlier. “We have had the conversation about Turn One. It doesn’t need to be dragged out in the media because I’m not the headmaster. They are the two best drivers out there. At a certain stage, responsibility needs to be in their hands. Sometimes it’s harder, sometimes it’s trickier for us, but the rule remains the same – we don’t need controversy in team, we don’t need tension.”
