But Mercedes boss Toto Wolff ꦍdisagreed with 🃏Hamilton’s claim.  

“We have had those years when we were a🎉s strong," Wolff said. 

"It is a meritocracy. Even if it is not great for the show th𝔍at the same guys win all the time, it is because they have d🀅one a good job and we haven’t.

"We shouldn't down-talk it, because I remember hearing question꧟s like that in 2014-2020, and what makes the sport so sp🌼ecial is that you need to work hard to win and you deserve it as a matter of fact.

"Entertainment follows sport. It is maybe not good from the commerci𓃲al side but it is what makes F1 so specia🎉l.”

Meanwhile, Hamilton’s teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell praised Red Bull’s achievement. 

"You’ve got to give credit to what R🎶ed Bull have♔ done," he said. 

"The gap they have to the rest o༒f the field, I think is bigger than we’ve seen probably since Mercedes in 2014. It’s a serious, serious gap and I guess everybody needs t🅘o keep working harder to understand how to close that gap.

"But we know we didn't make the right decisions over the♔ winte🙈r and I think we can regain some of that performance quicker than you would do ordinarily. So everything's not all lost."
