Wolff says he prefers to lose the title than break the rules

Mercedes AMG team boss – Toto Wolff, did not miss the opportunity to indirectly attack the German team’s main rival – Red Bull. This time the accusations were that the Austrian team broke the rules by exceeding the limit of the allocated budget.

In this saga, Red Bull claimed that the money was for catering and not for work on the car, but they still received a penalty.
