Speaking to the media, he said: “That was our best race of the year and it was really pleasing to see both drivers racing at the front.

Toto Wolff feels there is still a lot of work that needs to be done by the team Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has remained realistic amidst the multiple podium positions scored by the team recently at the 2022 . The Austrian was admittedly happy with the Silver Arrows' results but pointed out that there was still work required before the team became a contender for race wins. Speaking to the media, he said: “We know there is much work still to do. The gap to the leaders on a single lap persists and we struggle more at the start of stints. Our reliability was good once again, and both Lewis [Hamilton] and George [Russell] were on strong form, to deliver a double podium.” We need to keep unlocking more performance, and by maintaining the culture, mindset and spirit that has spurred on all the hard work at the factories, I'm confident we will.Toto previews this week’s We need to keep unlocking more performance, and by maintaining the culture, mindset and spirit that has spurred on all the hard work at the factories, I'm confident we will.Toto previews this week’s Looking ahead to the 2022 F1 , Wolff was not entirely sure of what to expect from the track, especially because of the constant divergence Mercedes has faced in terms of expectations from a race versus how it performs therein.
