Toto Wolff: Title decision will come late

In 2014, Lewis Hamilton had pocketed his second title during the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi while in 2015, the Briton had won his third crown at the United States Grand Prix three races from the end of the championship.

If Nico Rosberg had taken an important first advantage in the first events until the Barcelona Grand Prix, Hamilton has made an impressive comeback since, winning six of the last eight rounds since Monaco.

After the Belgian Grand Prix last weekend, pocketed by Rosberg, who notably took advantage of the penalties received by his teammate for changing elements on his Power Unit V6 turbo / hybrid, the gap between the two drivers Mercedes is only nine points before the meeting in Monza this Sunday.

A situation that is still very tight Toto wolff, boss of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, sees this continuing for several more weeks. “Eight races remain on the program, with only nine points separating our drivers now. The scales have tipped in both directions, and my feeling is that we will go until very late in the season before seeing who will take the advantage. »

If Mercedes still has a comfortable margin over the competition, Toto Wolff is still wary of Red Bull and Ferrari, the Team not having been successful in Belgium. “Luck was not on their side in the last race. If things continue like this, we are heading towards a very interesting end to the season. »
