梅赛德斯车队领队托托·沃尔夫已就乔治·拉塞尔在巴西大奖赛排位赛期间的愤怒车队无线电消息作出回应。
这位英国车手在雨中的英特拉格斯赛道练习赛中获得第二名，落后于迈凯伦车队的兰多·诺里斯。在中途的第三节排位赛最后一圈冲刺中，由于雨势加大且亚历克斯·阿尔本的威廉姆斯赛车在他前方，布拉克利车队要求他减速。
当时，当明显雨势过大无法继续该节比赛时，拉塞尔在车队无线电中愤怒不已。
“伙计，你让我减速！搞什么鬼？！”他在车队无线电中说道。沃尔夫回应告诉拉塞尔他排名第二，但这并未让这位车手满意。“第二。我不想当第二。我想当第一。”
由于他的梅赛德斯赛车更换了新的内燃机，拉塞尔在巴西大奖赛中被罚退后五位发车，因此将从第七位起步。
排位赛后，沃尔夫在接受天空体育F1采访时解释说，当时无法预知哪种决定才是最佳选择。
沃尔夫解释道：“如果我们能有一颗水晶球，知道是否应该收油，那会很有帮助。”
“这是一个艰难的决定，五五开。他当时正接近阿尔本。在那个阶段，他比诺里斯快了18毫秒。我不认为这足以拿到杆位，但他整节练习与排位都开得很完美，配得上杆位。
“他配得上，但你无法做出那个判断。对错各占一半。今天拉塞尔独处一档。”
拉塞尔将沮丧情绪搁置一旁，表示他对自己的梅赛德斯赛车感到有信心。
“这取决于天气。我在场上感觉很好，”这位英国车手在排位赛后的电视采访中说道。
“这是我一段时间以来第一次对赛车感到有信心。我在湿地上比在干地上更有信心。我不太明白为什么会这样。我感觉更像我自己，每一圈都在争夺杆位。不幸的是，在关键时刻，我们没能执行好。”

Toto Wolff responds to George Russell's angry radio messages in Brazilian GP qualifying
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has explained the decision that sparked George Russell's furious team radio outburst during Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying
For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has addressed George Russell's furious team radio messages during qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
The British driver finished second in the rain-soaked session at Interlagos behind McLaren's Lando Norris. The Brackley outfit told him to back off midway through his last push lap in Q3 as more rain approached and Alex Albon's Williams was ahead of him on track.
At the time, Russell fumed over the team radio when it became clear the rain was too heavy to continue with the session.
"Mate, you told me to back off! What the hell?!" he said on the team radio. Wolff responded to tell Russell he was P2, but that did not satisfy the driver. "P2. I don't want to be P2. I want to be P1."
Russell has received a five-place grid penalty for the Brazilian Grand Prix after his Mercedes was fitted with a fresh internal combustion engine, so will start the race from seventh.
Speaking to Sky Sports F1 after qualifying, Wolff explained there was no way of knowing what the best decision was at the time.
"If we were to have a crystal ball to know whether you should back off or not, that would be helpful," Wolff explained.
"It was a difficult one, a 50:50 call. He was running into Albon. He was 18 milliseconds up on Norris at that stage. I don't think it would have been enough for pole, but he drove perfectly all session and merited to be on pole.
"He deserved it, but you can't make that call. It's 50% right or wrong. George was in a league of his own today."
Putting his frustrations to one side, Russell said he felt confident in his Mercedes machinery.
"It depends on the weather. I felt good out there," the Briton said in his televised post-qualifying interview.
"It's the first time in a while I've felt confident in the car. I felt more confident in the wet than I do the dry. I don't really understand why that was. I felt more like myself, was in the fight for pole every single lap. Unfortunately, when it mattered, we didn't execute."
