F1: Wolff’s FIA mole implicated Aston Martin too

Toto Wolff is a sore loser and just cannot accept that he and his driver Lewis Hamilton lost the Abu Dhabi GP last year because they made a poor strategy decision, as we showed in this article.

Instead, he is now trying to discredit Red Bull’s win last year, as well as Red Bull destroying his Mercedes team this year, by putting out rumors to the media.

And he has pulled Aston Martin into his ugly rumors as well.

Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack insists that there has been no news from the FIA about any issues ahead of Wednesday’s expected confirmation of which teams fully complied with the 2021 cap.

“It’s a process where you give your submission, and then the FIA is analyzing this, and comes back with questions,” he said when asked by Autosport.

“And this process is still going on. So we don’t really know what will be the result. There is a discussion going on. We have questions about interpretation, they have questions about interpretation.

“And we were surprised to read our name in this thing. So, let’s see. We don’t think that we have done anything majorly wrong.”

Asked if Aston Martin might have committed an administrative mistake, Krack said: “I’m not aware of one, I don’t think so. As I said there were some questions which our financial people were are also answering. Honestly, we need to wait what will be the outcome. But we are not stressed about it.”

Krack admitted that it had been frustrating for the team to be named.

“It is upsetting. I think the most important thing is to keep focus on the weekend. When the Thursday or Friday starts like that, it’s important not to distract the people.

“And from our point of view, it was good that we were not the only one mentioned, so you guys you concentrated on the other side of the paddock! It is unfortunate that these things come out like that, but it’s F1.”

“This is typical paddock, the best defense is attacking,” said Krack. “I think at the end of the day, we must not forget, we are significantly less people than most teams are.

“We need to look at ourselves. You will not have a war of words from us, we need to concentrate on making progress. This is much more important than using the press to make statements.”
