While Wolff was not present at the track, he closely monitored the race from his makeshift pit wall setup at home. After the incident, he swiftly responded to a visibly frustrated Russell, who had plummeted from P2 to the rear of the pack due to the collision. Hamilton, on the other hand, had to retire from the race and pointed the blame squarely at Russell.
Russell expressed his frustration over the radio, saying, “I’m f***ing lost for words, honestly. I’ve just seen the replays on the TV screen…couldn’t do anything. Totally sandwiched.”
