Toto Wolff: “Everything can change very quickly”

Before the start of the Canadian Grand Prix, the victory of a Mercedes W05 Hybrid seemed to leave little doubt. But the two German single-seaters, victims of reliability concerns which led to the loss of the ERS-K, finally lowered their flag in the face of the Red Bull de Daniel Ricciardo. Toto wolff knows that everything can go very quickly in F, but remains confident in the potential of its drivers.

“The race shows that everything can change very quickly, not just between drivers, but also between teams, so we will continue to work even harder to make sure we don't leave any other points to our rivals. » asserts Wolff. The boss of the Silver Arrows also remains confident in the reaction capacity of Lewis Hamilton, forced to retire on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit, following a failure of his brakes. “Of course Nico now has a big lead in the championship, but Lewis is a fighter, and I have no doubt that he will come back even stronger. There is still a long way to go, with twelve races on the program, or even thirteen if we count the last race with doubled points. The season is far from over. »

Mercedes will travel to Austria from June 20 to 22 for the next round of the 2014 championship, for the return of the F1 in Wolff's native country.
