Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team principal Toto Wolff has apologised to Grenfell survivors and bereaved relatives after agreeing a partnership deal with Kingspan.

On Friday, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team principal Toto Wolff apologised to Grenfell survivors and bereaved relatives, and thanked campaign group Grenfell United for an offer to meet following its condemnation of the deal with Kingspan.Responding to them in a letter, Mr Wolff wrote:"The tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire was beyond imaginable to me, and it should never have happened.

Mr Wolff said that before concluding the partnership, his team"engaged with Kingspan in depth to understand what role their products played in what happened at Grenfell". Meanwhile, Communities Secretary Michael Gove said the government could amend advertising rules on racing cars if Mercedes does not pull the partnership with Kingspan.An inquiry is examining how Grenfell Tower came to be coated in flammable materials which contributed to the spread of fire which killed 72 people in June 2017.

Sir my arse

Why is it not Sir when your reporting on the F1 asking for a friend F1

I misread your outspokenness on race issues to suggest that you would be properly informed & advised about historical account of GrenfellTower incident as vocal as you're on Saudi Arabia. Perhaps I'm guilty of taking you too seriously, that I shouldn't

When was he knighted?

Sir Lewis got people crying 😂

Sir Lewis Hamilton: I had nothing to do with Grenfell dealSir Lewis has said that the deal between Mercedes’s F1 team and Kingspan has ‘nothing’ to do with him. Nothing is ever his responsibility is it 🙄 If he can speak up about various social issues in conservative nations, environmental issues, etc, why couldnt he publicly rebuke this? Instead of just, not my fault.. The fact he even has to explain this is bloody annoying. Anyone else and it would never have been raised, being black and successful is clearly too much of a problem for some people. I hope Merc review this and drop the company
