'Borderline dirty' racing great for F1 - Wolff

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff thinks the hard racing seen at the British Grand Prix is good for spectacle, but is happy his drivers avoided any "dirtiness" in their fight for the lead.

Mercedes' drivers swapped positions early on in the race on Sunday -- Lewis Hamilton briefly got past Valtteri Bottas at Luffield, before the Finn fought back to reclaim the lead through Copse corner. The race was full of wheel-to-wheel racing, with Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen racing hard for the first half of the grand prix.

Wolff was pleased to see his drivers listen to his pre-race warnings about avoiding a collision.
