HUNGARORING -- Romain Grosjean says he and Mercedes boss Toto Wolff spoke on the phone after the British Grand Prix to explain the comments both made after qualifying that weekend.
Grosjean was furious at the end of Q3 at Silverstone after being held up by Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton at the end of a flying lap. Hamilton escaped punishment for the incident and kept pole position, something Grosjean felt was preferential treatment as the Englishman is in this year's championship fight.
Wolff reacted angrily to Grosjean's statements, which included a suggestion the world champions needed to invest in better a better GPS for the pit wall, saying the Frenchman should consider himself lucky to be in Formula One given his previous controversial incidents.
