Romain Grosjean criticised for Lewis Hamilton comments
MERCEDES boss Toto Wolff has hit out at Romain Grosjean’s “moaning” about being blocked by Lewis Hamilton, saying his trouble Formula 1 past makes him ill-placed to comment on others.
Grosjean remains furious that Hamilton escaped sanction for impeding him during Q3 at the British Grand Prix, and went as far as suggesting that the FIA only let the pole sitter off because he was fighting for the world championship.
Unimpressed by those comments, Wolff said Grosjean should be thankful to have an F1 career at all given his history — which includes a race ban for causing a startling crash at the 2012 Belgian GP.
“There are some that moan all the time,” said Wolff when asked to respond to Grosjean’s remarks.
“They just continue moaning. I don’t want to even comment.
“If Romain Grosjean comes out and starts asking for penalties for other drivers, you should rather look at his track record.
“He should be happy he is driving in F1.”
