They both ruined last season and will do again. More/new teams needed to dilute their influence." Ian Davis@Ian53186192@wtf1official Yes, along with Horner.

Toto and Christian are bending the sport to their advantage still & both are toxic to the sport (evidenced by the behaviour of both sets of 'fans') More teams & new blood needed."

"Of course Andretti would say that. He wants to change the game. Wolff is as powerful as Horner and gets as much media but not enough to make a wrong by FIA be a right to give LH the 2021 title. stop spreading so much biased bs. Andretti has always been looking to overtake all f1" Sebastian Moncayo@juansemoncayo@wtf1official Of course Andretti would say that. He wants to change the game.

But he is like every other teammanager completly depending on what others within the team accomplish. But it is also Toto who can archive milestones with his team other managers can't. The past is proof!" Marc @Dressgenderfree@wtf1official Toto likes to think he's too powerfull. And maybe he is.

But it is also Toto who can archive milestones with his team other managers can't. The past is proof! What the Mercedes boss had to say about Andretti coming to F1 Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has been vocal against Andretti making it to the F1 grid because he feels the team would dilute the value for other teams rather than increase it. Speaking about Andretti's prospects when it comes to entering the sport, the Mercedes boss said, “That [Andretti Motorsport adding value to F1] hasn’t been demonstrated yet, and that may sound a bit dry, because it comes down to the numbers, but the value of Formula 1 is that it’s a limited amount of franchises. And we don’t want to dilute that value by just adding teams.” “Andretti is a great name, and I think they have done exceptional things in the US, but this is sport and this is business and we need to understand what is it that you can provide to the sport. We have 10 entries today. We divide the prize fund among those 10 entries. We have invested considerable amounts over the last 10 years.” It will be interesting to see if Andretti wins this tug of war or whether it will be the Mercedes boss having the last laugh.
