“Time for the Red Bull-Mercedes Rivalry Back”: Toto Wolff’s Masterstroke Gives Vital Hope to Lewis Hamilton Making LH Army Hold Their Breath in Anticipation

When someone really wishes for something, the whole cosmos gets behind to make it happen. It looks like the racing gods have heard Lewis Hamilton and the LH army’s pleas. Toto Wolff has played a masterstroke which gives Lewis Hamilton enough hope of clinging onto the 8th world title dream. As the racing gods set up to bring Lewis Hamilton justice, let’s find out what the masterstroke is and how is it bringing the Mercedes-Red Bull rivalry back.

Mercedes has been struggling to build a competitive car even since Lewis Hamilton lost the 2021 championship. Many believe the 2022 change in regulations was the key factor, as Adrian Newey and Co. adapted better to the changes. While that is true to some extent, people don’t consider Hamilton’s comments. The Briton explained how Mercedes did not act on his feedback when he suggested the problems with the concept.

The Silver Arrows under Mike Elliott kept working on the Zero-pod concept and are paying the price now. However, Toto Wolff accepted Mercedes’ fault and is now working towards a new concept. The concept is showing great performance numbers and is supposed to arrive in time for Emilia Romagna GP. In a desperate effort to catch up to Red Bull, Mercedes has also initiated a reshuffle within the factory.

James Allison has been reinstated as the Technical Director at Mercedes, as he will be swapping roles with the current Technical director, Mike Elliott. Moving from the Chief Technical Officer to the technical director means Allison will have a more hands-on approach to the development of the car. James was the Technical director when Mercedes won the Constructor’s Championship in 2021. Fans are relieved and rejoiced as Allison’s return to his old position brings hope of Mercedes building a title-challenging car.
