Toto Wolff Makes Concerning Mercedes F1 Prediction for Monaco GP Despite Massive Performance Spike in Spain

The Monaco Grand Prix will always stay special to the sport, as it generates an amazing amount of interest from across the globe. In 2022 it will provide an opportunity for teams like Mercedes who have found their lost vigor recently. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff gave a preview of the weekend for the German team.

Interestingly, the world champions have not dominated the streets of Monaco as they have on other tracks. Since 2013, they have won only 4 races at the track courtesy of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. But Wolff is confident that they can perform well this weekend.

The streets of principality have not been the strong suit of the world champions in previous seasons. But with an improved package and upgrades on their car, they can certainly hope for a stronger result this weekend. Wolff too is excited to see if they can continue to build on their Spanish GP outing.

” We quickly move on to the next race. Nothing quite rivals the glitz of Monaco, and it’s a true joy to see the drivers pushing their cars to the limit, threading their way through the narrow streets,” said Toto.

“Monaco hasn’t always been our happiest track, and slow-speed corners haven’t been our strength this season as we saw in Barcelona. But we’ve seen so far this year that anything can happen and we’ll be looking to maximize every opportunity,” said the Mercedes team boss.

“We were treated to a thrilling Spanish Grand Prix last weekend and for us, there was a lot of encouragement to take from it. It was fantastic to see George battling with the Red Bulls to earn a well-deserved podium finish, while Lewis’ fight back through the field from P19 to P5 was incredibly impressive,” said Toto.
