Wolff: “A new generation is advancing”

Period of great changes in Formula 1 between sensational changes in ownership and young talents who boldly and forcefully enter the world of racing.

The arrival of Max Verstappen at Red Bull he opened the doors to a generation of fierce and talented drivers, bold and with great prospects. Wehrlein continues to demonstrate his talent in Manor, Or with he is just entering the world of racing and Vandoorne will make his McLaren debut next year.

Toto wolff, Mercedes team principal, seems to be quite happy about this situation and about the future of the circus: “It's a really exciting period – we read on Tuttosport – some time ago there were several doubts about the fact that several drivers paid to race. But now there is a whole generation that is moving forward.”

The German is happy with the path taken by these new talents: “Vandoorne won GP2 last year in an exceptional way, probably in the best championship ever. Ocon has an impeccable CV in Formula Renault and Formula 3, he won the European championship the first year and then the GP3 as a rookie, impressive. There is Pascal, the youngest DTM winner, not to mention Verstappen, who is no longer considered a junior driver. There are four drivers who arrived in Formula 1 exclusively because of their skills, I think it's great."
