A group of I⭕talian taxi drivers are unhappy with Toto Wolff after the Mercedes boss compared Max Verstappen to them after his controversial clash with George Russell.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Verstappen’s deliberate collision with Russell during the latꦬter stages of the race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya sparked an amusing comparison from Wolff.

After th🍒e rac💃e in Spain, Wolff labelled Verstappen’s driving as “road rage.”

“This is 👍road rage, like the♓ taxi drivers in Rome or Naples,” Wolff said as quoted by The Guardian.

An Italian journ💙alist replied to Wolff and said: “We have improved a lot in Italy.”

Wolff said: “There’s a lot of aggression in the centr🌳e of Rome and Naples, without rules.”

Verstappen was hit with a 10-second time penalty and threꦐe penalty points on his licence for the incident, moving him one point away from a race ban.

newspaper, Loreno Bittarelli, president of Rome’s largest taxi cooperative, told Wolff to focus on his own team’s performance.

“Maybe it would be better if Wolff focused o𝐆n [the performance] of his own team,” Bittarelli said.

Filt-Cgil’s Nicola Di Giacobbe also fired a shot at Wolff, saying: “We drive like a Mercedes since it only 🎐goes 30 miles an hour, just like us.”

Another taxi driver, Alessandro, described Rome as a “jungle”, not a𝓀n F1 track.

“We are the ones who are first in not ൲having 🧜accidents, otherwise we would lose our working day,” he said.

“I would like to see Formula One drivers manoeuvring around construction sites, scooters and golf🀅 carts the way we do. Rome is 🍰now a jungle, not a Formula One track.”

Verstappen will head into next weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix knowing that he can’t afford to be involved in ano💜ther incident.

Thౠe Dutchman will see two ♏of his existing 11 penalty points are removed at the end of the month.
