Toto Wolff’s Wife; My History With Hamilton Was Entangled In Many ways… That’s Why I Am Speak For Him

Toto Wolff’s wife Susie has gone on the attack against the FIA, and in particular Michael Masi, following the dramatic finale of the F1 season in Ahu Dhabi. The fallout from Abu Dhabi is continuing to rumble on after Lewis Hamilton was dramatically and controversially pipped to a record-breaking eighth world title by Red Bull rival Max Verstappen.

Hamilton was on course for the title once more having led Verstappen by 11 seconds with just a few laps remaining. But that all changed when Nicholas Latifi crashed into the safety barrier with five to go – leading to the safety car being called onto the track. Verstappen opted to pit and change tyres, and after a change in heart, FIA race director Michael Masi controversially allowed the five cars between Hamilton and Verstappen to pass and unlap themselves with the safety car out there.

That allowed Verstappen to start right behind Hamilton, and all of the Brit’s hard work was immediately undone as the Dutchman fought off his rival in a final lap shootout for the title. Mercedes immediately launched two protests over the result to the FIA, but they were rejected. The constructor giants then suggested they intended on making a final appeal.

However, minutes before that statement, Wolff’s wife Susie took to Instagram to express her anger at Sunday’s decision, claiming Hamilton was ‘robbed’ of the title. Alongside a picture of her hugging Hamilton, Susie wrote: “Going in to the race weekend in Abu Dhabi, I believed both teams and both drivers deserved to win. “It was going to be a spectacle, an historic race that we all hoped would end without controversy.

That wasn’t to be. “What happened is still hard to comprehend and leaves me with a sick feeling. Not the losing – and not Max or Red Bull – they are deserving winners and we always knew it was a strong possibility we may not win – but the way in which Lewis was robbed has left me in utter disbelief.

“The decision of one person within the governing body who applied a rule in a way which has never been done before in F1 single handedly decided the F1 Driver World Championship. “Rules are rules, they can’t be changed on a whim by one individual at the end of a race.
