Toto Wolff and the entire Mercedes crew have not particularly been happy with their F1 car and its porpoising that has affected their performance to a great extent. The bouncing of the car is so bad that it has started to affect the physiological health of the drivers. After FIA’s intervention, they released a new technical directive, of which, not many team principals have been fans. Following that, matters were made worse for the teams as it affected Mercedes even more and had almost no effect on the Red Bulls and Ferraris. On the same issue, a meeting was conducted between the team principals and the FIA in Canada, and Toto Wolff did not like the way it went on.

Adam Cooper, a journalist present in the meeting, took to Twitter to post that an exchange of words took place between Mattia Binotto of Ferrari and Toto Wolff. Later, reports also stated that Christian Horner (Red Bull) also joined in. All of this happened while Netflix kept filming for their next season of Drive to Survive, so we might as well be able to know what exactly happened in the meeting, but much later.
Toto Wolff not happy with F1 authorities and his colleagues
Toto Wolff has not been very glad with the solution that the FIA came out with for the porpoising, it even led to him accusing F1 authorities of “incensitirt and political games.”
GPBlog quoted Cooper’s statement; “Hearing more and more about an angry exchange between Toto Wolff and Mattia Binotto re the porpoising technical directive at yesterday’s meeting. Christian Horner joined in too… and all of this in front of Netflix camera.”
Toto Wolff earlier stated that the new technical directive would make the Mercedes W13s underperform and other teams like Red Bull, who haven’t suffered from much porpoising would not have any effect on their cars, so Mercedes would be the worse affected team.
