Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, criticized Red Bull's protest of George Russell's Canadian Grand Prix win over alleged erratic driving and unsportsmanlike conduct behind the safety car. Wolff emphasized the protest's pettiness and deemed it embarrassing, noting that it was a fair victory for Mercedes. This protest marked Red Bull's second challenge against Russell this season. In contrast, Red Bull's Christian Horner defended the protest, stating it was a team's right to seek clarification from stewards without regrets, highlighting ongoing tensions between the teams.
First of all, it took team Red Bull Racing two hours before they launched the protest, so that was in their doing. You know, honestly, it's so petty and so small.
No, absolutely not. I mean, it's a team's right to do so. You know, we saw something we didn't think was quite right.
