Toto Wolff on blue flags in Hungary: "The problem is that some engineers on the pit wall are absolute Teletubbies and would rather stare up at the sky than tell their drivers that there’s a train of leading drivers coming from behind and that they’re fighting for positions."
Quote of the weekend. :lol:
I wonder if he confused Muppets and Teletubbies lol.

I think he may have nailed it with Teletubbies because in the interview, he said something to the effect of, and I'm paraphrasing, "mute like Teletubbies." I know what a Teletubby is but I have never seen it so if they're not mute, then maybe that wasn't the proper comparison lol.

Ferrari really threw us a lifeline this weekend. Kimi extended his lead in the WDC and basically kept the WCC frozen in place.

Damage limitation heading into the summer rather than limping into the summer. Team should be very motivated to come back strong after the break.
Exactly! Well summed up.

Great job by Kimi, and only one point lost to Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship.

That’s excellent damage limitation considering the horrible grid position!

Kimi is driving really maturely in the last 2 races. He's lost the teen angst from earlier in the year when he wasn't in the lead.
