Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has praised the competitive spirit amongst the teams in Formula 1 this season. After an utterly dominant Red Bull run in 2023, the pinnacle of motorsport has finally brewed an exciting four-way battle this year.
The Silver Arrows had a slow start to the season as compared to their rivals, McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari. But the Brackely-based team has massively improved since the Canadian GP, mustering three wins out of the last four races.
Toto Wolff has talked about the unpredictable nature of the 2024 championship, given the growing competition between the top four. Wolff was thereafter cited as the team’s motive for achieving a top-three finish in the title race.
It is difficult to say what will happen in the final 10 races. The competitive order between the top four is close. That is a good thing though as it is making the sport incredibly exciting. We will be pushing hard to fight for more victories and aiming to get top three in both championships.Toto Wolff via mercedesamgf1.com
The four teams will look to work on their shortfalls to deliver near-perfect packages after the ongoing summer break. The upcoming Dutch Grand Prix will be an exciting matchup in deciding the flow for the remainder of the season.
