'It's So Petty And Small': Mercedes Boss Wolff On Red Bull's Protest In Canadian GP
Canadian Grand Prix: The 2025 Formula 1 season saw another flashpoint in the ever-heated Mercedes vs Red Bull rivalry, as Red Bull’s protest against George Russell’s Canadian Grand Prix victory was dismissed by the stewards. But the fallout has continued well beyond the paddock, with Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff branding the protest “petty” and “embarrassing,” while Red Bull’s Christian Horner insists his team has “no regrets."
Red Bull had lodged a post-race protest alleging that Russell engaged in erratic driving and unsportsmanlike behaviour behind the Safety Car while ahead of Max Verstappen. This came after a similar protest in Miami earlier in the season—also dismissed—where Red Bull accused Russell of failing to slow under yellow flags.
Wolff didn’t hold back in his response, telling Sky Sports at the launch of the new F1 movie in New York: “First of all, it took team Red Bull Racing two hours before they launched the protest, so that was in their doing. You know, honestly, it's so petty and so small.”
