Wolff expresses regret over Verstappen 'Wikipedia' jibe
Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff admitted that his comment regarding Max Verstappen’s consecutive win record was not the wisest. After Verstappen achieved his 10th Grand Prix win in a row, Wolff dismissed the statistic as something only relevant for Wikipedia. This comment drew criticism from fans, and Verstappen himself suggested that Wolff was frustrated with Mercedes’ performance at Monza. Since the introduction of new technical regulations last year, Mercedes has struggled to maintain its dominance, whereas Verstappen and Red Bull have been surging towards defending their titles. Wolff acknowledged that his comment may not have been appropriate, but emphasized that he does not place great importance on records and statistics. He believes that winning the World Championship is the most valuable achievement, and it is attained by the best driver in the best car.
