Regarding Toto Wolff, Christian Horner said this is the first time Toto has been challenged by another team. According to Horner, Toto came to Mercedes and inherited a team that already had the drivers and the engine. And while Toto did a good job keeping this team on top, he never really faced any real competition.
Mercedes has dominated the sport since the hybrid era began in 2014. And since then, this has been the first season that another team has been able to keep up to the end. Horner says there is respect between the two teams: “This is the first time it’s a real junk, it’s a real competition. There is a respect, I think, between the teams, but I think we work in very different ways. “

Horner also mentioned that his role on the team is very different from Toto’s role in Mercedes. “I want to be right at the front, I’m sitting at the pit wall with the strategists and the engineers. Toto will be sitting next to the press man in the garage, so they have different functions, they have different roles. They have different views, but of course the competition is fierce. I think that is the decisive factor in this championship. “
