Toto Wolff believes the F1 title fight is “wide open” this season.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff considers the constructors’ championship to be wide open after Lando Norris dominated the field at the Dutch Grand Prix. Norris’ remarkable victory with a 22.9s lead over Max Verstappen marked the largest winning margin by a non-Red Bull driver since Lewis Hamilton in 2021. Despite being on old tires, Norris also secured the fastest lap point. With McLaren only 30 points behind Red Bull in the constructors’ standings, Wolff sees a significant threat to Red Bull’s title. While optimistic about McLaren’s challenge, Wolff acknowledges Verstappen’s advantage in the drivers’ championship. With Mercedes aiming to play a more significant role in the title battle, Wolff reflects on their performance at Zandvoort and the potential for a change in dynamics.
