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.
While many placed the blame solely on the Briton, but Wolff thinks both drivers 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.

“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.
