Mercedes boss Toto Wolff slams Red Bull's oil burn claim. Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has defended his world champion team against the implication that they cheat their way to success. The row has broken out on the eve of the new season after Red Bull pointedly wrote to governing body the FIA for clarification about burning oil as fuel to gain a boost in qualifying. Red Bull seem to think Mercedes may be doing just that, which would break the rules because only certain chemicals are allowed to power the engine. Red Bull's role in stirring this dispute prompted an angry response from Wolff, who said: 'They must be seeing ghosts. Lewis Hamilton will look to begin his quest to become world champion with a win in Melbourne. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has been embroiled in a war of words with his Red Bull counterparts'For years we've had a map (fuel injection setting) that allows us to use more horsepower in qualifying. The Red Bull Illume Image Quest showcases the globe's very best action and adventure sports images and honors the photographers behind them. All photographers are.This is nothing new. Maybe there will be protests, but Mercedes feel safe.'Wolff's 'seeing ghosts' remark was doubtless aimed at Christian Horner, his counterpart at Red Bull. The two have a history of jousting with each other, as illustrated last year when Wolff rang Red Bull's Max Verstappen to implore him not to get entangled with one of his Mercedes drivers in their F1 championship run- in. Horner, angered by what he saw as needless meddling, made a hand- to- ear phone gesture as he walked by while Wolff was conducting a press conference. The FIA have reminded teams that burning oil as fuel is not allowed. While Mercedes and Red Bull squabbled, monuments to Mc. Laren's greatness were being staged here on Wednesday in the build- up to Sunday's Australian Grand Prix — reminders to driver Fernando Alonso of how far the team have fallen. Mercedes team principal Wolff is flanked by Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas at the car launch. Wolff defended his world champion team against implications they cheat their way to success. The film Mc. Laren, depicting the life of founder Bruce Mc. Laren, was shown on the Southbank of the Yarra River. And at the Stokehouse restaurant on Port Phillip Bay the team's once traditional pre- race shindig was being revived in lavish style. Alonso, meanwhile, has been feeding the animals at Melbourne Zoo. The double world champion knows a new chapter in the story of Britain's most successful Formula One team will not be written on the Albert Park track, so slow and unreliable are the Honda engines inside the orange and black livery of this year's Mc. Laren.'It was a difficult two weeks of testing and we are prepared to face a difficult weekend here,' admitted the Spaniard, who has finished no race higher than fifth since returning to Mc. Laren for the 2. 01. The first step will be to work on reliability before we can make any assumptions or predictions about performance.'Fernando Alonso will head a Mc. Laren team that has enjoyed brighter prospects for a season. Mc. Laren experienced far from ideal preparations for the new campaign due to a lack of testing. Alonso's realism reflects the fact that Mc. Laren did fewer laps in testing than any other team — an embarrassment for an organisation with such rich resources and pedigree. Just getting his car, or that of team- mate Stoffel Vandoorne, to the end of the race will be a relative achievement. Expectations are set higher at Red Bull, who, it was thought, would make profitable use of the new technical regulations under the pencil tip of their celebrated British designer Adrian Newey.
