As usual ,Toto is talking BS ...

Wolff is actually the entertainer with all his dirty corruption behind the curtains !

And the 7 years of Mercedes dominance wasn't boring ?

F1 was like a dying subject , but by MAX the F1 is more alive than ever before

F1 lost so many fans during the Mercedes dominance era. The least entertaining era of F1 ever.

Redbull and Ferrari fanbase combined is 10x of Merc. F1 fan engagement right now is next level.

Have lavender in my yarden , lavender works as anti-mosquito .
It's great to have it in this burning tropical heat , saw today 44.8°C in the shade !

Now the weather forecast for the Paul Ricard circuit ...
Asphalt temp. will be easily +/- 45/50°C !

What the actual fvck? This sh1t can’t be real, it has to be made up. I don’t have a problem with him and Mercedes like some of you do but I’d love to backhand him across the face for this asinine take, especially having just gone through the last 8 years.

Don't get baited, NYG.

Teams have bonus programs as incentives for performance. Must hurt Wolff & C° that reaping windfall in 2022 ain't as easy anymore like it used to be the past years. Can no longer take things for granted. Ripe fruit to be picked, doesn't hang as low for them nowadays - times have changed.

So this 2022 season is "less entertaining" for their bank accounts.

Toto Wolff hinting at the start of the 2022 season in a Sky interview (UK) that he "contemplates" the idea of reducing his involvement as team principal for Mercedes-AMG, in order to improve his work-life balance. Little did he know at that time that his team would become merely 'best of the rest' instead of top 2, only managing to get P3 at best when at least a Red Bull or Ferrari driver encountered an issue compromising his podium chances.

Too long in Merc with too many shares in the team Wolff has become just part of the furniture with an unhealthy attitude about nearly everything becoming desperate and clinging as his previous advantages are fading and now trying to use underhand measures to claw back other teams' advantages

Good video, thx for sharing; especially worth noting on Ferrari pushing the limits because of the FIA engine freeze. You can't make a slow & reliable engine faster by going to FIA for exception... but you can go to them and easily get approval to change a fast engine that is unreliable. So they essentially get to keep working on the engine reliability, you just can't work on performance.

And they highlighted how this engine freeze had hurt them over the past generation and why Ferrari powertrain was the worst in that generation, they were unable to get approval to modify it.

This also aligns to team direction, Ferrari had no intentions of winning any championships this year. They are playing a longer strategy and only wanted to make sure their cars and powertrain are competitive. Their plan was to win in 3 years and use this first year to ensure they can compete in top 3 with this generation. Well they are well ahead of plan... I would imagine overall they are very very happy and I don't think they would sacrifice their long-term plans for a short-term win this season and dial back the powertrain for some points when it would leave them shorted in long-term.

Odds of Ferrari being the new MB for this generation is quite high.

As long as MB are not at the top I am happy. I am a RB fan but also Ferrari and enjoy watching both win, but want to see Max smash any record that Ham's name is on.

That non finish for Sainz could be joined by another blow for him as the general opinion is that Chas will be given no 1 status in the second half of the season so Carlos will be under team orders to give Chas maximum points in his fight with Max.

Given Ferrari's engine reliability I don't think either driver can catch Max. They should let them race IMHO.
