“He Just Makes Noise When He Falls”: Mercedes Honcho Toto Wolff Mocked As Fellow F1 Boss Challenges His Rivals to Scrap

Formula 1 is in Brazil for the 21st round of the 2022 F1 season. The penultimate round in Sao Paulo will see the teams extract out everything before they conclude the season in the UAE. As the race in Brazil inches closer, the Haas F1 team boss reveals a magnificent ability and unravels the weak spot of his Mercedes counterpart Toto Wolff.

Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner recently opened up on the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix, his team, his special ability, and especially Toto Wolff. During an interview with Apple’s Fast and Loose special podcast on Brazil GP, Steiner was asked whom he can beat in a fistfight.

“All of them“, instantly replied the Italian-American. Furthermore, when the hosts said Toto [Toto Wolff, Mercedes AMG F1 team principal] “is a big guy“, Steiner reverted with, “But he just makes noise when he falls.”

Regardless of this, it’s unclear who will win eventually as a real match-up like this has never happened, or is likely to happen, we can just take Guenther Steiner’s confidence into account.

Leaving aside Guenther Steiner and Toto Wolff fist fight, two team principals got lots to work for

Even though Guenther Steiner said he can beat Toto Wolff in a fistfight, the American team boss has certainly failed to do that on track. Mercedes, as usual, has left Haas way behind in the constructors’ championship.

Despite this, there is no direct competition between the two as the Brackley-based team fights for the championship, while the Kannapolis-based team fights for points. However, the 2022 F1 season left both the team principals with a lot to improve for the next season.

As for Mercedes, they are still the third-best team in the sport behind champions Red Bull and P2 Ferrari. It’ll need humongous improvements if they are to beat the Austrian and Italian stables in the coming years.

As for Haas, they started the season quite well. But gradually, they were surpassed by Alfa Romeo and Aston Martin, while AlphaTauri are breathing down their neck. Expected to be a mid-table finish for Haas this season, is likely to end up as a low-table finish.
