- Mercedes chief unhappy at delay to new tests on wing rigidity
- Sergio Pérez tops the timesheets in first practice for Monaco GP
The Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, has warned the row over flexible wings in Formula One could end up in the FIA international court of appeal. As the teams took to the streets of Monaco for practice on Thursday there was increasing tension behind the scenes where official protests are being considered.
Any protest and subsequent ICA ruling could affect what is already a finely balanced title fight with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton leading Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by 14 points.
