Could Toto Wolff's ego have been what stopped Mercedes from unveiling a W14 akin to the Red Bull design? Martin Brundle doubts that was the case. F1
‘A man’s ego is a very ugly thing’
“Well Christian would have loved it, wouldn’t he?” Brundle replied to McFadyen before laughing about the Red Bull team boss’ dig at Aston Martin for racing an “old” Red Bull, “and so he’s having a good old poke at Aston Martin instead.” “Engineers, in my experience, thinking in zeros and ones would have analysed the whole situation to death and decided to stick with that. I don’t think it would have been based on what Christian might have said on Sky F1 or Netflix about Toto.“I’m pretty sure if the engineers and designers and aerodynamicists had gone to Toto and said ‘if we do it like that, we think will be three quarters of a second a lap faster’. I think Toto would have parked his ego to be honest.
“Mercedes are a mighty team, there’s a lot of clever people there. They’ve lost some clever people, but there were hundreds more are left behind so I wouldn’t write them off.
