Toto Wolff has been criticised for perceived “disingenuous and crass” remarks about the decisions of Mercedes’ technical staff. F1
“I hate to hear that, because he must be a man, stand up and take it on the chin and say, ‘my team, my people, we have failed to get the job successfully done at this moment. However, there are times ahead that we’re looking forward to and we will be there much stronger than we were in 2022’.
“I think that Toto is strong enough, big enough and man enough to front this up and actually sort it out.” With the 23 races on the calendar – including a gap of almost a month between the Australian and Azerbaijan grands prix in April – there is plenty of time for Mercedes to recover ground to the current leading teams.
But Coulthard is convinced that the likes of Red Bull, Ferrari and Aston Martin will not stand still either.“Twenty-three races in this season [so] they’ve got more races than at any time in history to try and win things back but development doesn’t stop for the fast teams as well, so it is going to be a huge challenge for them.”
