GP Saudi Arabia: The immense anger of Toto Wolff after the collision between Verstappen and Hamilton

The sequence is the delight of social networks.

And testifies to the epic moment experienced Sunday evening by all observers of Formula 1, but above all to the extreme tension among the actors.

We are on the 37th lap of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

After having been in the lead for a long time, Max Verstappen is losing ground on his runner-up Lewis Hamilton.

The choice to put on hard tires paid off for the Briton against the medium of the Dutchman.

With the help of the DRS, the Mercedes single-seater returns to Verstappen, who refuses to be overtaken and illegally cuts the road to Hamilton.

Then follows a period of uncertainty, during which Red Bull advises its driver to let Hamilton pass, under penalty of heavier penalties thereafter.

But in the straight line, Verstappen brakes (too?) Brutally and the Hamilton wing impales itself on the navy blue car.

This maneuver will provoke the anger of Toto Wolff, usually of Olympian calm.

The manager of the Mercedes team will violently throw his helmet, before screaming scandal in the paddock, imitated by his colleagues.

At this point in the race, Verstappen takes the lead in the standings and a second place for Mercedes would almost give the Dutchman the title.

A situation that has managed to get the usual imperturbable out of its hinges.
