Formula 1 drivers should not make “millions”, according to Alpha Tauri boss Franz Tost. “It was a legitimate question,” Tost says now when asked about the incident and Hamilton’s retort. “We have cost limits for the cars, for the teams, for the engines – why is there an infinite amount of money available for the drivers?” “Otherwise I would tell them they can choose – either we put the money into the car so that it is competitive, or you drivers take it and drive around. “If someone is a real racing driver, he wants the money in the car,” Tost added.
