I predict China to have a lot of Mercedes coverage and merc fans my heart goes out to you cuz holy shit like: Kimi Antonelli testing the W14 next week, Sebastian Vettel throwing his hat in the ring to return with backing from Lewis, Fernando and Carlos not nailed down anywhere, George ahead of Lewis in the championship, Toto on his Max Verstappen apology tour and saying NOTHING about ANYONE, Williams falling apart while Alex still kinda hanging in the background as an option of all these Merc talks, The car is shit and people are leaving left and right, but their feeder series kids are kinda popping off
And Nico Rosberg is gonna be there to talk about it all
Torger 'Toto' Wolff - is an Austrian billionaire motorsport executive, investor, and former racing driver. He is Team Principal and CEO of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.
“In business you can get away with things, and in politics, you can have explanations, but in sports, the explanations are not worth anything if you haven’t won.”
Torger Wolff starting off 2024 with the biggest fumble in the history of mankind, haven't had a fumble this size since an asteroid struck earth and fumbled the dinosaurs into extinction and plunged the entire planet into the ice age, this fumble is so astronomical it cannot be quantified, counted or calculated
if it’s true that lewis asked for a 3-year deal + the ambassadorship and merc only offered the 1 year (+1), this comment from toto actually makes me feel a little sick:
how dare you make it sound like lewis just abandoned his poor motivated team, like he turned his back on them, when in reality they AND YOU abandoned him first, and still he believed and was ready to commit again
I just don’t know what drives the guy. We just don’t understand his thinking to come up with these things. What happened is that Christian, through an agency that we work with, wanted to have Lewis’ contact details to speak about the seat. That’s how the whole thing went.
It was Christian enquiring about Lewis’ availability. Lewis had an exchange with Christian, which he immediately told me about, and which was not about a seat but it was just blah. I don’t know what drives him to come out with this. - Toto Wolff
