Toto Wolff: "We shouldn't be talking our sport down"
F1 News
Toto Wolff believes that Formula 1 needs to stop being so critical of itself. After the French Grand Prix many starting complaining about the lack of excitement in the sport but the week after we saw one of the most exciting races in Austria. Wolff believes that the sport is "alive" and that calling Formula 1 "boring" is simply wrong.
"I think all the ones that used the polemic and the hardest words in their rhetoric should remember [the Austrian GP] the next time they start to complain," said Wolff when asked by Autosport whether there had been an overreaction to the French GP.
"We shouldn't be doing a Ratner and talking our sport down when we have a next race where the sport is more than alive, is spectacular, with a full crowd, with controversy on track, and some fantastic racing."
"[There was] some fantastic racing, and I want to really say bravo to Pirelli, that have stood strong to the opinion that withstands manipulation and delivered us a product that we were able to push until the very end," said Wolff.
Many have also been critical of the 2019 Pirelli tyre but if we believe what Wolff says then it has led to cars being able to push for longer throughout the race.
Hopefully next weeks British Grand Prix will be as exciting as the Austrian race and Formula 1 can end the talk of boring races.
