Mercedes chairman Toto Wolff has disregarded suggestions that Nico Rosberg deliberately took to the run-off to cause yellow flags to ensure he secured pole in Monaco.
“I don’t think that anybody does that [deliberately go off] in modern day F1,” said Wolff when probed on the matter.
Rosberg has been summoned before the stewards to explain the situation, but Wolff says it was simply an error.
“He missed his braking and he took the exit. There is no more to add.
“I know you guys want a spicy, controversial story, but it’s all bulls***.”
Lewis Hamilton however was on a quick lap which he was forced to abandon becasue of the flags and his body language and refusal to answer questions after suggests he thinks differently.
When questioned on his relationship with Rosberg and the comparison with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, he broke his silence.
“Essentially,” he replied when asked if he and Rosberg were even more like Senna and Prost now.
He was then asked if he’d sit down with the German to discuss the matter, to which he said: “I don’t know if Senna and Prost ever sat down and talked it out.
“I quite like the way Senna dealt with it, so I’m going to take a page out of his book.”
