Wolff on the situation with a disqualification of Russell
Lewis Hamilton is the new winner of the Belgian Grand Prix. "Lewis is of course promoted to P1; he was the fastest guy on the two stops and is a deserved winner. Despite the disqualification, there are many positives we can take from this weekend. We had a car that was the benchmark in today's race across two different strategies. Just a few months ago that would have been unthinkable," said Wolff
"We go into the summer break having won three of the past four races. We will look after shutdown rejuvenated and with the aim of maintaining our positive trajectory," the team principal concluding, ending the story on a positive note. The following weekend will take place at Zandvoort in the Netherlands, and will run between 26-28 August.
