On the eve of the Italian Grand Prix, Mercedes team leader Toto Wolff summarized the results of the Zandvoort race and talked about the challenges his team faces in Monza.
Toto Wolff: “Our car was not the fastest at the Dutch Grand Prix, but the team did a fantastic job, enabling us to compete for the win in the race. Now we need to make sure we land in such positions on a regular basis.
In Zandvoort we took some risks, but we didn’t succeed. We come to the races to fight for the win, and we will never hesitate to make bold decisions. We’ve earned points and closed the gap to second in the Constructors’ Championship – it’s nice to be back in the fray. Thanks to the hard work of every employee, we are approaching the first win of the season.
Emotions ran high on social networks after the race, but in Formula 1, there is no place for hate speech and insults against our team and our rivals. We fight hard on the track, but we always treat our opponents with respect.
In Monza an exciting series of three stages in a row comes to an end. We arrive at a circuit with a rich history and see the red sea of tifosi.
The Zandvoort track was suitable for our car, but in Monza the team will have a more difficult weekend, given its characteristics. However, we are optimistic and believe that we will now look better on low downforce tracks, as we learned a lot in Spa. The team will do its best to fight for the podium.”
