Mercedes' team boss Toto Wolff
Toto Wolff the Mercedes team Principal has recently deemed the 2022 Formula One season as boring because of the huge performance gap between the front-running Red Bull and Ferrari and the rest of the teams.
Mercedes is the third-best team on the grid this season but despite that, they have not been able to get anywhere near the top two teams. The performance that they have been able to extract from the W13 is not at the level of what Ferrari and Red Bull have produced.
Toto Wolff is utterly disappointed with the state of affairs at his team this season and has grudgingly admitted that they are out of the fight for the 2022 world Championship.
Moreover, the Austrian believes that the 2022 season could further bore fans and while stressing about it has said, “I think the reason why races have less entertainment is that there is just too much performance gap between the teams.”
“If you have Verstappen disappearing in a distance, the two Ferraris being the only entertainment during the race, and then we are in the middle of nowhere in no man’s land.”

Toto Wolff and Mercedes can make a strong impression in the 11 remaining races
While the 2022 title is out of the reach of the Mercedes Formula One team, they have been improving consistently in the last few races and within the group, there is hope that they can spring up a few surprises in the second leg of the season.
Moreover, Lewis Hamilton has also recently admitted that there is a chance that they can win a Grand Prix this season. Hamilton has been impressed with the improvement that he has witnessed on the W13 in recent races and on the back of it, is highly optimistic about squeezing in a race win at some point during the current season.
In Austria, the Silver Arrows finished 3rd and 4th after showing strong pace, and given that the Brackley-based team after 11 races has started to find its groove, the second leg of the season could potentially bring a lot more joy to the faces of the Mercedes fans.
