Ferrari tried to help Mercedes mechanics remove the stuck wheel that caused Valtteri Bottas to retire from the Monaco GP. “The gun made the wheel nut completely round,” team boss Toto Wolff told motorsport-magazin.com. “The tyre is still on the car now,” the Austrian added, revealing that after “Ferrari helped us with heavy equipment” like a sledgehammer following the race, the team will have to try again to remove the wheel once back at the factory. “It has nothing to do with the mechanic,” he insisted. “Normally the mechanic doesn’t have to be so precise, but the angle was wrong,” said Wolff.
