Mercedes are Going to ‘Blow Everyone Away’: Toto Wolff Issues a Bold Threat to Red Bull F1

Mercedes failed to reach the top stop of podium yet again, as Max Verstappen has triumphed over them at the Red Bull Ring for the second consecutive week. However, the Silver Arrows are still determined to make amends and look to the race at Silverstone to be the ones to dominate.

Furthermore, team principal, Toto Wolff has revealed their intentions to blow the competition away and secure a double podium finish at the British Grand Prix.

Mercedes are looking to finish miles ahead of the pack, according to Wolff

Wolff & Co. faced another heartbreak this weekend as Valtteri Bottas wasn’t quick enough to catch the leader, Verstappen, and only finished P2. Lewis Hamilton, on the other hand, missed a podium finish and had to settle for fourth place. Hence, the Brackley-based squad are looking to bounce back and claim victory at Silverstone which is scheduled in two weeks’ time.

Speaking after the Austrian Grand Prix, being asked about their game plan for the British Grand Prix, Wolff replied, “I think we are going to go to Silverstone and blow everyone away. Finish one then two, thirty seconds’ advantage ahead of everybody else.”
