F1 | Mercedes, Wolff: "Ferrari is focusing only on Vettel, we must adapt"

Toto wolff he's ready to plug it back in. The executive director of the Mercedes-AMG F1, just over a week after the resumption of the World Championship, spoke about the very close duel with Ferrari: "It is clear that Ferrari is betting everything on one driver and we, with our philosophy of making our two run on equal terms, come out at a disadvantage. In recent years the problem didn't arise: we played the World Cup as a family. Now it's different and we have to adapt".

Thought inevitably returns to the management of Hungarian GP, culminating in the exchange of positions between Hamilton e Bottas, in favor of the latter: "I would do it all again, as in my whole life, if I say something, then I do it" – Wolff remarked decisively. “Hamilton had asked us to overtake Bottas to attack the Ferraris, the agreement was that if he didn't make it, he would give the position back. Another detail, there is a principle we care about: whoever is faster is in front. The three points lost by Hamilton could have an impact, but in recent years we have applied certain principles. As I said in Budapest, if we were to lose the title it would be as if I had shot myself in the knee, but my word counts. Although it doesn't mean we will necessarily have to handle things the same way in the future.".
