Wolff: McLaren is not hiding anything

formula 1

Toto Wolff, head of the Mercedes team, said he did not believe McLaren Honda was hiding or misleading anything about the Fernando Alonso crash at tests in Barcelona. The Spaniard crashed into a concrete wall along the track on Feb. 22 and then spent four days in hospital, sparking wild speculation about the reasons for the crash. “The FIA is investigating the crash,” Wolff said. “If there was something like this that other teams should know, they would have already told us that,” he added, explaining that in such collisions, looks can be deceiving.

The second day of testing in Barcelona was the most successful of McLaren Honda's preparations so far this year. Fernando Alonso drove 59 laps all day, achieving a time of 1: 25.961, which was 1.387 seconds worse than the fastest, taken by Daniel Ricciardo in a Red Bull race car.
