There was drama and controversy at the race in Silverstone. The Dutch driver was leading the race, with Britain’s Knight chasing him down; the two came together, sending Verstappen into the barrier and leaving Hamilton with some damage. Many blamed the Mercedes driver, but, Wolff thinks both had a role to play in the accident.

He said, “As for the incident, it always takes two to tango, and these two are not giving each other an inch. It’s a high-speed corner… These things are nasty to look at, but there is a clear regulation and that is something that is black and white on paper and as a racing driver, you may have different perspective from the car.”

“But you need to exactly understand that if the front axle is over the middle of the car on the outside, it’s your corner. Now you can say, is that a corner that is equivalent to any other? Maybe not. But again, an accident involves two drivers,” Wolff concluded.

Both teams might not be will to talk at this moment in time. However, the Raging Bulls will be hoping to make a statement to the Silver Arrows on track at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
