Mercedes F1 team boss Toto Wolff said that if Max Verstappen is taken out of the equation, the season so far looks much closer and more interesting.
“I think you just have to take Max out of the equation. The second Red Bull is at our level and then the season will be fantastic and the battles on the track will be close. But in the end, the stopwatch never lies. One person with one particular car is above all others. We just have to catch up. We have no other choice,” said Toto Wolff.
Recently, the CEO of McLaren Zach Brown expressed a similar opinion. The Formula 1 season resumes next Sunday, August 27, with the Dutch Grand Prix, and Max Verstappen will be even more motivated to win his home race in front of electrifying ‘orange’ crowd.
