NO CONSPIRACY
“First of all, they deserved the win,
they had the quickest car out there so
as a team result, the one and two is
good and congratulations from our side.
I think we need to give them credit,”
added Wolff.
The Mercedes chief hopes that
Monaco, where Valtteri Bottas finished
fourth and Lewis Hamilton down in
seventh, will be his team’s worst race.
He explained, “Our target would be
that it’s the worst race of the season
hopefully, an outlier like we’ve had in
Singapore. It is just about bringing the
tyres into the right window and we have
a fast car but she doesn’t like the tyres.”
“That is something which we need
to understand why that is because
Ferrari is able to put the car on the
floor and it goes from straight from the
beginning until the end.”
“Both drivers seem to be equally
competitive or uncompetitive and
that has been different all through
the season for us. I have such a
confidence in the group of people that
the more miles we do the more data
we will collect and the better we will
understand.”
“In terms of looking for, I don’t know
if we will need more difficult weekends
or not. Normally, the longer it goes
the better it gets for us,” concluded
Wolff whose team has now dropped to
second in the Formula 1 constructors’
championship, 17 points adrift of
Ferrari.
