Will the F1 World Champion of the 2021 season be decided by an accident between Verstappen and Hamilton?
The two have had two collisions this season, both of which led to the driver's outright retirement. Mercedes-led Wolff believes that the third collision is likely to happen again.
"When we came to Abu Dhabi, if the championship suspense had not yet been revealed, it was entirely possible for the leading side to make the moves of the Senna and Prost eras."
The rivalry between Senna and Prost is seen as the fiercest title battle in F1 history. At the Suzuka Circuit in 1989, a collision made Prost a world champion. A year later, Senna completed his revenge in the same place and snatched back the world championship.
Wolfe recalled Monza's collision and said: "Because Lewis was faster, Verstappen knocked him out, which is completely understandable. Such scenes also happened to Schumacher and Villeneuve, twice between Senna and Prost. Wolff believes that Verstappen's actions are meant to prevent opponents from overtaking themselves in points.
Wolfe said: "I would never give instructions to hit another car. But if in the last game, the championship is close at hand, they will be very tough on the confrontation. ”
"Both are gladiators in racing, which is where motorsport is interesting. If they crashed, would they clash? What garbage words will they say? Will they glare at each other? ”
"We don't interfere, their relationships are resolved on their own."
