The team will always have priority for Mercedes

Toto wolff, the executive director of Mercedes Motorsport, took stock of the 2016 season with its staff in the Brackley neighborhoods.

“Our team has broken records in the books. We achieved our goals with passion and determination and faced unexpected challenges at every turn…Lewis had to show character to accept defeat with dignity. We celebrated our successes and learned from our mistakes. Through these moments, we emerged stronger”, welcomed the Austrian.

“Being in full light, every decision made and every word spoken is analyzed under a microscope. There have been heated debates among fans and interpretations by the media, added Toto Wolff. There has now been enough discussion. It is a period of calm which is conducive to reflection, which allows us to savor our success and prepare for the next season. »

If the star-studded team distinguished itself again this year by winning the Drivers and Manufacturers titles while dominating the field of the F1, she had to face several difficulties such as the rivalry between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton and the sudden retirement of the new world champion.
 
“We will continue to be guided above all by the interests of the team. This philosophy is more important than a season or a person, warned the Austrian. This has forged a group that is humble in victory and dignified in defeat, never satisfied and constantly seeking improvement. These values ​​have been the foundation of these three titles and there will be no compromise in our quest for 4th in 2017.”
