Red Bull a threat according to Wolff: 'The situation turns around quickly'

Mercedes have been very dominant in recent years, but this year Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing are very close. The Mercedes team boss is preparing for an exciting season finale where he obviously hopes his team will be on top again. He is trying to ensure that fear and impatience do not play too big a role.

"We have to avoid swinging back and forth between the eagerness to win it at all costs and depression. There's never been a moment where I thought 'we're not going to make it'. But we also have to avoid talking too much too soon, like we did in Austin on Friday, when the general feedback was "Guys, you're dominating, how's Red Bull going to do it?" After 24 hours, the situation was reversed," Wolff told Autosprint.

Focus on the car

Above all, it is important to continue to understand the car, as it is and will remain one of the most important parts of the sport. "We have to think about making the most of the product, which is what I call the car. How do we tune it? How do we get the performance out of it? That's what will make the difference between winning and losing. As a team we have to keep this up," said the Austrian.
