Toto Wolff Admission While Comparing Mercedes With Aston Martin

Wolff started off by admitting that their current package may not be competitive

“I don’t think this package is going to be competitive eventually. We gave it our best go over the winter and now we need to regroup”

“I’m sure that we can win races this season, but it’s the mid and long term that we need to look at”

He then gave his thoughts on Aston Martin’s progress

“They gained two seconds in half a year and their car is half ours, from the engine, gearbox and rear suspension and using the same wind tunnel”

He signed off by acknowledging that Aston Martin have done a great job

“There are a lot of parallels and we need to acknowledge that they have done an outstanding job”
