Wolff: Mercedes hasn’t "swallowed a dumb pill" since F1 2021
The Silver Arrows team faced challenges at the Australian Grand Prix last weekend, with the W15 experiencing handling instability and Lewis Hamilton’s early exit due to an engine failure. Despite showing competitive pace at times in Melbourne, the car’s performance was inconsistent, and the team is grappling with a physics problem. Team Principal Toto Wolff acknowledged the need for improvement and expressed willingness to listen to ideas for turning the team around swiftly. Wolff, who owns a significant stake in the team, is committed to his role and signed a new three-year contract earlier this year. While reflecting on his leadership, Wolff emphasized the importance of continuous self-assessment and seeking solutions to address the team’s current struggles.
