Toto Wolff pulling a face while being interviewed.

Toto Wolff and Fred Vasseur, the team bosses of Mercedes and Ferrari respectively, have been summoned to the stewards in Abu Dhabi following their behaviour in the Las Vegas Grand Prix press conference.

Wolff and Vasseur both cut frustrated figures in the team representatives’ press conference in Vegas, which took place shortly after the opening practice session in Nevada.

FP1 was cut short after just eight minutes Carlos Sainz hit a loose drain cover, causing huge damage to his Ferrari, with an annoyed Vasseur unforthcoming to questions posed by press conference host Tom Clarkson.

Wolff later exploded into an expletive-ridden rant after it was claimed that the chaotic FP1 session was a “black eye” for F1 upon its first visit to Vegas in four decades.
