🗣️“That was suboptimum for us, to say the least.” Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has joked that famed circus act “Cirque du Soleil” was responsible for craning Lewis Hamilton’s car in Monaco to reveal its ground-effects floor design ⬇️
Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff has joked that famed circus act “Cirque du Soleil” was responsible for craning Lewis Hamilton’s car in Monaco to reveal its ground-effects floor design.Hamilton hit the barriers late in final practice on Saturday to trigger a red flag. As his W14 was recovered, it was raised several storeys high to allow photographers to capture the underbody design.
Teams have specially fitted covers that cloak the floor of the car when they are recovered and hoisted onto flatbed trucks. Wolff did underline that he was making the comment in jest and praised the principality marshals, saying that “everybody is doing their best”.Motorsport Images Wolff noted that the RB19 had stayed flat when craned as opposed to the W14, which fell rearwards due to its weight bias from the point it was tethered.He said: “They are all from Cirque du Solei. Their car hangs straight. Ours was rear down!”
