Mercedes has not lost a championship since 2014. This year, however, they are engaging in a year-long battle with Red Bull Racing that will last until the last race of the season. It’s also a fight that Mercedes boss Toto Wolff apparently enjoys.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Wolff said:

“After seven years we have nothing more to prove. We have set our records and want to expand them because we are ambitious and we hate to lose. But we can enjoy it just as well because we have the best job in the world . ” World.”

Considering the ongoing battle with Red Bull, Wolff said:

“We have been setting the standard for seven years. It’s a lot tougher this year, we know why. We also enjoy the fight situation. We have two strong drivers. I’m looking forward to the next races. It doesn’t feel heavy or painful at all. Things will happen as they should, but it’s great fun. “

Mercedes vs Red Bull at the US Grand Prix: who is ahead?

One of the reasons for Wolff’s calm demeanor was the recent form of the two teams. Since Mercedes presented its new upgrade at Silverstone, the car has been a rocket on the straights, leaving Red Bull behind.

The Mercedes was the faster car in Monza, Russia and Turkey. The long straights of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA), the venue for the United States Grand Prix this weekend, should also favor the Silver Arrows.

The battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen has intensified over the course of the season. Only six points separate the two drivers in the six remaining races on the calendar.
