“Achilles Heel” – Toto Wolff Reveals Huge Mexican GP F1 Fears

Currently, Mercedes lead both championships and feel they can achieve a good result in Turkey as well as Austin. However, according to Team Principal, Toto Wolff, the Silver Arrows might suffer at the Mexican Grand Prix.

Their arch-rivals, Red Bull, won at the track back in 2017 and 2018, whereas Mercedes only won back in 2019. Now after a year’s hiatus, the grid heads back to Mexico, and Mercedes are concerned that it might affect the title race.

Toto Wolff is worried about Mercedes’s performance at the Mexican GP

The title fight between Red Bull and Mercedes has never been this intense. However, with the Mexican GP back on the F1 calendar, Wolff & Co. are skeptical about achieving a victory, as the track has historically favored their rivals from Milton-Keynes.

As quoted by Formula Passion, “I think Turkey is a good track for us. And Austin too. Then it will be a little more difficult in Mexico , which has been our Achilles heel every year. We hope that it goes back and forth between us and Red Bull and that we reach a grand finale at the end.” (Translated via Google Translate)
