Peter Windsor believes Lewis Hamilton 'deserved more respect' from Toto Wolff over team radio during the AustrianGP 'That's a seven-time World Champion...' LewisHamilton F1 Formula1
F1 commentator Peter Windsor has called for Toto Wolff to show “more respect” to Lewis Hamilton after the Mercedes team boss’s team radio intervention during the Austrian Grand Prix left a bitter taste.
And he claimed Wolff’s admission that the car was bad was a damning reflection of the team’s lack of progress since Mercedes’ highly anticipated upgrade package arrived at the Monaco GP at the end of May., Windsor said: “There was a comment from Toto Wolff two-thirds of the way through the race which, for me, left a little bit of a bad taste in the mouth because it was Lewis again going on about track limits.
“And [secondly], to speak to Lewis like that – ‘get on and race’ – this guy’s a seven-times World Champion, he does deserve a little bit more respect than that, I think.“I just felt a little bit uneasy hearing that. It probably goes on all the time but I just wish we didn’t hear all the radio all the time if it’s going to be like that.
“But if you’re going to be spoken to like that by your team principal it’s not really fun either, is it? I wouldn’t have thought it was anyway.
