Toto wolff, the executive president of Mercedes Motorsport, reacted by providing details on the statements of the double world champion who left the Team Ferrari for McLaren-Honda.

“We should pay attention to what is said in the media”, commented the Austrian in Mirror. “We expressed our interest but at the same time we were in negotiations with Lewis. I told Fernando that we would not discuss with anyone else while we were in negotiations with Lewis and we stuck to that commitment. »
