Toto Wolff è lapidary on Red Bull
Mercedes’ 2023 è was far below expectations compared to what it achieved in 2022. The only consolation for the Brackley team, however, è was second place in the constructors world championship behind Red Bull. Precisely on the clear superiority of the Milton Keynes team, during the tests in Abu Dhabi, the team principal of Mercedes è expressed himself bluntly in view of the upcoming season.
"I do not know if we will be able to compete with Red Bull next year. They won the last race with a clear lead and brought the latest updates in August. When you look at it like that, you can say it's fine at the end of the day. Now there's only one rival driver to beat who has won 19 races, and we certainly haven't been good enough this year,'quot; began the Mercedes team principal.
"In the last race in Abu Dhabi, Lewis had a bad weekend. That, however, does not take away from the fact that he is the best driver in the world. If we are able to provide him with a good car, I am sure he can come back to fight for the World Title" continued the Austrian manager.
"When you have a car like the W14 and you are never fully comfortable è it is normal to have ups and downs. We have seen forò that every time Hamilton è felt in tune with the car, è he is back to his old self. We just need to be able to give him and Russell a competitive car" commented Toto Wolff.
