HAPPY, BUT VROOM TO IMPROVE

Wolff has lot in the bank for Monte Carlo

- ANDY DUNN

TOTO WOLFF admitted he is “not yet ecstatic” after George Russell and Lewis Hamilton both drove storming races in Barcelona.

The Mercedes team principal saw Russell enjoy a thrilling battle at the front of Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix and make the podium ( far left) while Hamilton recovered from a first-lap puncture to storm through for a fifth-placed finish.

In fact, Wolff reckons had Hamilton (top right with Russell) not been involved in an early collision with Kevin Magnussen, he would have been challenging eventual winner Max Verstappen for victory.
