Mercedes faced a tough season in 2022 amid the introduction of new regulations, but Toto Wolff feels its struggles this year were still less painful than the way it lost the title in the AbuDhabiGP in '21.
The German car manufacturer is coming off the back of the first season since 2013 where it has not won at least one of the world championship titles.
“It's out of control; out of your hands. And losing control, that was the first time since I was an adolescent. And, in my sense of fairness, that was totally against my values.” “I think we understood it slowly but surely. We would peel one layer of the onion off and you think you solved the problem, but then it is the next one and the next one.
But while breaking his streak, and finishing the year 35 points behind teammate George Russell was not ideal, Wolff thinks Hamilton’s greatest achievements have come off track.
