Toto Wolff summed up the season, which turned out to be the most unlucky season for Mercedes in the last ten years…
Toto Wolff: “I was always afraid that one day we would be in the middle group or drop even lower. This is what happened in 2022 – we made a mistake in the development of the car and fought in the middle group.
Next year the rules will hardly change, we understand where we stand in the balance of power, what mistakes we made and where we need to improve. We hope to catch up with the leader in 2023, but so far that has not happened and we have to make every effort.
Lewis is motivated and full of energy. In January he will turn 38 years old, but he is loaded to fight. I’m impressed with how 45-year-old Tom Brady [игрок в американский футбол] acting on the field and 41-year-old Alonso is in great shape. Lewis may perform for a few more years, or he may quit when he realizes he no longer meets his own high standards. Just like Niki Lauda.
George Russell’s progress this year has fully lived up to our expectations. As a rookie and playing in the same team with Hamilton, he didn’t get lost at the start of the season when our car wasn’t successful. George had a great season and added confidence. He has the potential to become world champion one day, he just needs to be patient.”
