Toto Wolff highlights Mercedes’ ‘biggest asset’ in chasing down Max Verstappen and Leclerc | F1 | Sports

Despite his words, Wolff believes there is still a long way to go with his team’s car after commending his main man Hamilton for being able to battle against his Mercedes, when he is usually in a fight with a title rival instead.

“The situation is very different than when you are fighting for a title,” Wolff said. “Then it’s 100% of concentration to fight the other guy. This is different because we are fighting the car at the moment, we are trying to motivate and energize the team and in the factory.

“Lewis is positive even on days that are not so good, like [qualifying] on Saturday. That attitude is great and that’s something that has really grown with him over the years. You have a seven-time world champion in a car that is just not good enough for a world championship at the moment. He is pushing very hard and maximizing what is in the car and gave a faultless delivery.”
