Safe to say that the Italian Grand Prix proved to be one of the most interesting and entertaining races for neutral race fans. From a hefty crash between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton to Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris scripting a marvellous victory for Papaya, to Valtteri Bottas managing to secure a place on the podium after starting the grid from the last position. 

However, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has urged Formula 1 to act upon putting an end to Max Verstappen’s tactical fouls. To those are still unaware, the crash between the two spoken about drivers through the Rettifilio chicane culminate in the Dutchman hitting a sausage kerb that launched his Red Bull into the air. Which was followed by the forward momentum, Verstappen’s car roll forward across the halo and the right-rear tyre strike the seven-time champion’s helmet.

“We have seen these duels in the past and it is between drivers that are very good that are racing for a world championship,” said Wolff as quoted by GPFans. “I think the modus operandi for the future is that tactical fouls, in order to make sure the other guy doesn’t win, is something which we need to get under control. How? I have no idea.”

Examining that incident in comparison, Toto Wolff added, “I think Lewis gave a lot of space in turn four on lap one and avoided a collision.

“Maybe I am more unsportsmanlike than Lewis because I would have terminated the race there. At least we would have had less engine mileage on the power unit and then what happened is the other way around but not avoided the contact.This is for me what we need to avoid in the future, taking each other out tactically because you know you have lost the position. 

“The only question is ‘How many accidents do we want to see in the future in order to stop one guy winning and the other way around?'”
