Toto Wolff: “The Vettel-Hamilton fight is a good thing”

The three years of fighting between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg seem to leave room for a fight between the world champion team and its new-found rival Ferrari, who launched his season perfectly with two victories in four races for Sebastian Vettel, championship leader before the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend in Barcelona.

A new situation which is not to totally displease Toto wolff.  “For the championship, it's a good thing that the drivers with the strongest personalities and almost 100 wins between them are fighting for the title » admits the boss of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport admitted to the SID agency,

The instructions in the cupboard?

Building on a masterful victory in Russia, Valtteri Bottas should not, however, be ruled out from the expected match between Vettel and Hamilton. Especially since Toto Wolff once again insists that the team instructions are still not to his liking, even if this eventuality remains possible.

“There may be situations where one of the two is faster for whatever reason and we have to think about the team victory » comments Toto Wolff.

Mercedes had let Hamilton and Rosberg fight during the last three championships, the two drivers however coming into contact several times, notably in Spain, with the famous double retirement of 2016.
