Wolff’s pride
You can see it in the Mercedes garage, always in the usual place: Toto’s rituals Wolff, who prefers to watch the races inside the garage and not on the wall, are the same as when the team won. What changes are the attitudes: the Austrian is often with his head in his hands and looks at the monitor with a frowning expression, the result of the team’s difficulties in getting to the bottom of his problems.
However, Wolff has full faith in his team and has never lost hope of catching up with his rivals. After all, his team is the one that dominated the turbo-hybrid era until 2020, winning 15 titles from 2014 to 2021. And three lean years won’t make him change his mind about the working group.
Wolff’s words
“We have finished first 115 times and have been beaten in the last 50 races. This is not where we want to be and the feeling we are experiencing is horrible. But on Monday morning we regroup and set off again”, these are his words to the news agency PA.
“Ferrari hasn’t won a constructors’ championship since 2008. Red Bull failed to do so for eight years in a row, because we were the ones who won. We need to put things in perspective: It’s the third year we haven’t won, it’s not eight and it’s not 16. If we think about McLaren, they haven’t won a Constructors’ Championship since 1998 and a Drivers’ World Championship since 2008. Last year we came second: it’s not enough, but in 10 or 20 years you’ll see that we won eight championships in a row and then we lost some three, or maybe four, not 16”.
