“Mercedes Need to be Consistently Bringing Their A-Game”: Toto Wolff Optimistic Ahead of Action in Monza

Although Mercedes gave their all when it came to strategical chances at Zandvoort, yet Red Bull and Maz Verstappen seemed to run away with the proceedings to stretch their winning streak yet again. However, boss of the Brackley-based team, Toto Wolff reveals his optimism as Mercedes heads for the final showdown of the triple-headed action after the 2021 summer break. 

To those who are unaware, Monza has been a happy hunting ground for Wolff and Mercedes. Having triumphed on five occasions, the last two Italian Grand Prix have been quite unexpected (Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly). But knowing that there will be sprint qualifying sessions along with lowest downforce levels of the season, Mercedes will finally hope to rally up a win in the second half.

“We have nine races to go in this Championship fight and the battle will only get more intense, but our mission is clear,” said Wolff in his team’s preview of the race as quoted by PlanetF1. “Last time out at Zandvoort, we simply didn’t put all the pieces together – we took some risks and gave it our best shot but it just wasn’t enough.” 

Toto Wolff added, “A double podium brought us solid and useful points, extending our Constructors’ Championship advantage, but we know we need to be consistently bringing our A-game if we want to finish this season on top.

“As we visit Monza to finish this triple-header, we face a completely different track and challenge, which is exciting for all of us. It’s a historic and unique circuit, with the lowest downforce levels of the season and most of the lap spent at full throttle.” 

He concluded by stating, “It’s also the second race weekend with the Sprint Qualifying format, so that will add some extra spice to the mix too. We learned lessons on the new format at Silverstone and look forward to bringing that knowledge with us into this weekend.”
