“One of the Biggest Hypocrites”: Fans Expose Toto Wolff’s Double Standards Against Fernando Alonso After Lewis Hamilton’s Questionable Incident Sparks off Major Drama

Do you recall when Toto Wolff accused the Team Principals in Drive to Survive Season 5? Mercedes were losing out a lot of performance because of the porpoising problem and Toto Wolff tried playing a cheeky move to help his team out. As Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso came imperiously close to a disastrous incident in Montreal, Toto Wolff’ double standards have been exposed by fans. What did the fans say and what exactly did they expose?

This weekend’s Canadian GP was full of drama and great racing action. One of the highlights was Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso’s fight. Once arch-rivals, Lewis Hamilton’s fiery comments of giving Alonso hell promised a spicy battle. And yes, it was delivered. After overtaking the Spaniard off the line, Russell’s crash called out the safety car which prompted many drivers to pit. Alonso, who was on Hamilton’s gearbox, followed him in and had a faster pitstop. 

As Fernando Alonso went past Hamilton’s pit box, the Mercedes crew released the Briton as he joined just above the Aston Martin driver. Alonso frantically moved his steering wheel and applied brakes to avoid any incident. However, the FIA decided that it was just on the limit of being safe and disregarded any further investigation. On the replays, Toto Wolff was seen imitating Alonso as he made a funny face, indicating that he was mocking Alonso. 

Now the Austrian has come firing shots at Alonso suggesting that the Spaniard was just exaggerating to attract a penalty toward Hamilton. Wolff labeled Alonso’s actions as drama. According to the tweet posted by @FastestPitStop, Toto Wolff said, “[It was] a bit of drama. Shaking the steering a little bit and a little bit of touching of the brakes. He is good at that, the cries of ‘I nearly hit him’… a bit of drama.”

Fans took to Twitter as they expressed their displeasure toward Toto Wolff as they revealed the Austrian’s double standards.

Some fans suggested that Toto Wolff should save these comments for the future when the tables are turned against his drivers in the future. 

Many fans recalled last year’s Azerbaijan GP where Lewis Hamilton got out of the car holding his back as porpoising was a major issue last year and it was Lewis Hamilton and Co’s attempt to force FIA to increase the ride height.
