Toto Wolff issued a challenge to Lewis Hamilton

Toto Wolff’s words

Toto Wolff does not hide: “A grade for the first part of the season? Three. And not because we haven’t won yet, but because we didn’t meet our expectations. We were not fast enough, we failed.” N

“We don’t understand why the machine is slow,” he explained to ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport,’ “we started spending money only when the decision was made to reduce hopping. We spent very little, spreading investments along the season without introducing full-bodied packages. We respect the budget cap: we have financial engineers who monitor every penny we spend, no exceptions.”

Closing remark on Hamilton: “Lewis is great, he’s handling the situation better than me, showing his maturity. He is important. Even though we are going through a difficult time, he always has a positive approach. How far can he go? The decision is his alone: when he no longer feels up to it he will stop, but just watch Alonso. Why can’t an intact driver raise the bar beyond the age of 40? After all, no driver has managed to win after the 300th GP, and I would like Lewis to break this taboo.”
