Wolff defends Liberty Media against MotoGP rider criticism

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has strongly criticised MotoGP riders who questioned the safety of racing in Qatar amid the ongoing hostilities between Iran and the USA. He backed the Liberty Media-owned series and said that the riders who raised concerns "know nothing" about the situation.

The piece also recalls Wolff's vehement reaction to criticism of Formula 1's first race on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit three years ago, which the writer says showed a similar pattern of robustly defending Liberty's decision-making.
