Wolff: “Ferrari deserved the victory”

The CEO Mercedes Toto Wolff try to take it philosophically. Malaysia's missed success should not be taken as a negative alarm by the team, but as an incentive to roll up their sleeves in front of a recovering competition.

“You can't always win and perhaps this was the wake-up call we needed – he declared to Sky Sport UK – Vettel drove very well and his Ferrari proved to be at the top. There is little to say, during the winter they worked hard and made a great recovery, so they deserve the result obtained. From now on we will just have to be even more focused. We probably had the wrong strategy and with hindsight we could have made different decisions, however it is fair to recognize that we didn't have the pace. I hope that what has happened will stop the requests for leveling of performance which do not make sense."

“I congratulate the Maranello team – the words of the non-executive boss Niki Lauda – We will have to analyze the race, in any case I believe that the outcome would not have been different with alternative choices. Today they were the best."
