Toto Wolff: Mercedes 'started 100-metre race 10 metres behind everyone else'

'...we simply had to solve the porpoising problem before being able to actually add performance' F1

Toto Wolff: Mercedes ‘started 100-metre race 10 metres behind everyone else’Mercedes boss Toto Wolff believes his team face an uphill battle to catch up on Ferrari and Red Bull after starting the new regulation cycle “10 metres behind”.

While Mercedes clinched a race victory with a 1-2 in Brazil at the penultimate round, Red Bull still appeared the team to beat as Max Verstappen claimed the win in Abu Dhabi – his 15th of a record-breaking year, although Ferrari looked to be in Mercedes’ ballpark after the F1-75 fell off the boil in the latter half of the season.

Having finally finished off a season in which Mercedes never looked like contenders for a title, Wolff was asked whether or not he feels any fear of having overlooked a development idea which his team’s rivals may have identified from having an initial performance advantage.
