So much for yesterday's chatter that it'd be confirmed as GR at Silverstone
Except, today Toto Wolff admitted his Winter decision comments were a media windup!
Speaking after qualifying today, Toto revealed that he had actually been joking when he made the comments about waiting until Winter to make the call..
He suggested he had said it as a means of hoping to stop being asked repeated questions about the timing of the driver call.
“Yes, it was a wind up," he said. "Because you get asked this question so, so often."
But although Wolff may not then wait until the winter, he has indicated that he still wants to take a bit more time to decide what to do because he needs to make the right call.
So, unlikely the internet Silverstone rumour will happen, but it may not be that long..... Maybe we need Bottas to plough into Lewis at T1 tomorrow and put him in the wall. That might finally convince Toto to make the obvious call.
