Toto Wolff finally graced the podium after Lewis’ championship win at Istanbul. Although he explained Ron Meadows, James Allison and Bradley Lor forced him, which was a little uncomfortable for the team boss.

“I prefer to stand below and I am happy when an aspiring hero who represents our team celebrates up there,” added Wolff. The party did not stop as the celebrations long continued on the flight back home.
