Miracle from Yas Marina for Max Verstappen when he prevails in the World Cup shoot
After your team’s star racing driver was cruelly denied the F1 world title under controversial circumstances, you would be forgiven if all you wanted to do was spend a quiet night alone.
But that didn’t mean Toto Wolff decided that he wanted to overcome the heartbreak of powerless watching when Lewis Hamilton was hit on the post by Max Verstappen in the final lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
After spending a few hours locked up in the Mercedes office trying to reverse the result, there seemed to be only one thing for the Austrian.
Make your way to the nearest night club.

Recordings of Wolff have surfaced who partied the night away to celebrate the success of the Mercedes Constructors’ Championship and to mark the end of a long and exhausting season for all of the team’s employees.

But all talk about safety cars, protests and appeals was quickly forgotten for the night, and Wolff let his hair down in proper style.
Despite the rejection of the initial protests by the stewards, Mercedes announced late on Sunday that it would file a lawsuit with the FIA appeals court.
Dozens of other partygoers were only too happy to catch Wolff and dance with him

And if they fail there, the Silver Arrows could file another lawsuit with the arbitration tribunal for sports.
According to The Times, Mercedes is now apparently considering whether or not further appointments make sense.
After sleeping on it, the team hierarchy appears to be concerned that their reputation could be dragged through the mud if they tried in court in a protracted legal battle for the world title.
