MERCEDES chief Toto Wolff backed Sir Lewis Hamilton after his X-rated rant at the team’s strategists after the Dutch Grand Prix. Hamilton lashed out at his team as he blamed them for blowing his chance of winning his first GP of season in the Netherlands. The Dutch star and Russell eventually overtook Hamilton, who finished fourth and took to the radio to vent his frustrations. Hamilton yelled: “That was the biggest f****p. I can’t believe you guys f*****g screwed me.”. However, Wolff defended the Formula One legend’s outburst as he claims it just proves his passion for winning. The Mercedes chief added that this was just a case of the 37-year-old becoming “emotional”. However, Wolff also defended Mercedes’ strategists as he described them as the “best guys”.
