Toto Wolff: "I remember a few years ago when Kimi first came to our base and technical director James Allison decided that he was lost and looking for his parents. It's incredible. He was 14 then, and now he's nineteen, he has won two consecutive Formula 1 races, and we are very pleased with his progress. Now we need to protect him from those who talk about the championship title.
At the end of the race, George Russell's car unexpectedly slowed down. It was an electrical failure, in the software. Super clipping activated, the car slowed down, and at that moment he unexpectedly lost position to Leclerc."
