*Toto is a malicious, manipulating, MACHIAVELLIAN!* Just reflect back to 2013 with Ross Brawn at the helm of Mercedes, _(in his book)_ Brawn said he left due to disagreements about his role in the team, leading to *TRUST ISSUES WITH TOTO WOLF*, who went on to IMPOSE himself as Team Principal, in a Team successfully pre-built by Brawn. _So, Wolf has past form in behaving with a lack of honour and integrity!_ 🧐
That very first part about Toto assuming Lewis would retire after 2021, shows Toto's complicit behavior in his wish for Lewis to not break Michael's record. When you look back on it, the way Toto is so business like and devoid of any real emotion, is consistent with him probably not really ever caring for Lewis the person vs Lewis the driver.......It's a shame but now so obvious in hindsight.
I go where Lewis goes🤷♂️ you’d think they would try to make his last season with the team more special and give him some credit for all he’s done for/with the team.
If Toto Wolff thinks that Lewis Hamilton, like every athlete, has a shelf life where their performance drops off, then I suggest Toto has also reached his own shelf life as a Team Principal. 😂
In the murky waters that two-faced Toto is swimming in, he's lost his leading light, it's not just the financial clout that Lewis brought with his fanbase, but it's all bs that's coming from the mercedes team, they haven't had a car since 21, and doesn't look like getting one anytime soon. Lewis going is the best thing for Lewis, Merc acting like a spurned wife is not a good look, shame on them
3 more races for LH. New start next year. LH will be in a much better place for next season..... I hope he gets his 8th next season. It's impossible for Russell to win over LH unless merc gives a better car to Russell .........
Thanks for that, it was very interesting. I've followed F1 since the late 1950s, and am still a fan (especially of Ferrari). You're right, there is a lot of mismanagement from Toto Wolff's side. Louis is so keen to do the right thing, looking after his image so well, to be an inspiration to other boys growing up. But all this seems to be lost on Toto Wolff. I wish all the best to Hamilton and Ferrari for 2025.
There is no "mismanagement" -- this is just drama created by all F1 media pundits to keep your attention. Toto Wolff and the Mercedes AMG engineers have given Lewis Hamilton a championship-level car for the better part of a DECADE. Lewis is overrated and not enough credit is given to the team and what they did for him, but what do you expect from a bunch of 'fans' who don't know how racing works? If anything this move hurts his image because it shows that he is willing to give up on the people who gave him the opportunity to win 6 World Driver's Championships the second they aren't winning anymore. Meanwhile Alonso is content trying to revive midfield teams, Lewis acts as if he is entitled to winning and can't handle 3 seasons of not being in the fastest car. He was showing up to every race this season saying, "I can't wait until the weekend is over". Imagine going to work every day and having someone like that around. He has a horrible attitude. They gave Lewis upgrades for Mexico and not George because they only had one set. Lewis barely beat George in that race and George had wing damage for 70% of the race distance. You guys need to use your eyes, watch racing, and stop being delusional. He is not being 'sabotaged' or 'mistreated' in any way. He is just unhappy because they aren't winning, simple as that.
Have you finished hearing yourself? Get a handkerchief and popcorn, sit back and watch what will hit you. So why is Russell not challenging for the championship if the car is one for that? Why is a washed driver still close to the top driver? Believe in your lies but don't tell us it is the car next year. @@Agdem_
@@Agdem_ your audacity of lecturing someone who's been following F1 since the late '50's is off the scale. Quite frankly rude! Especially given your obvious bias! Your whole analysys is off the scale and mostly wrong!
Lewis is just a kind hearted gentleman who in his younger years wore his heart on his sleeves. It's so rewarding watching him mature and become the greatest F1 driver of all time. Mercedes and Toto have really treated him rotten, and have destroyed what could have been a lucrative partnership for many years even beyond F1. However, this is their loss due to their mismanagement and short sightedness.
I dont think Mercedes and Toto wanted Lewis to win 2021. They didnt like the fact that he would break that record and be undisputed number one. For some reason. Possibly Schumacher and some racism within the company. He would become too big for them to contain. And other personal petty grievences and powerplays ofc.
So true. Germany is a country that prides itself on supremacy. They shot black American troops in the eyes and genitals when capturing a squad in the 2nd World War. Someone somewhere didn't want Lewis to beat Schumacher's record. Toto is a billionaire I believe. Lewis is just a racing driver who wants to be the best in the world. Whatever went wrong for Mercedes it went wrong big time. The creation of their legacy is the result of this year and it will define them forever.
I’d argue the success Mercedes enjoyed during the hybrid era wasn’t actually down to Toto, as he was just ‘maintaining’ what someone else had built! Ross Brawn made all the relevant provisions for success, including aided with bringing Hamilton to the team, all of which Toto simply subsequently benefitted from - This is illustrated by the end of the hybrid era, where under Toto’s leadership, the team is yet to win any championship. The current ground effect era requires a whole new set of provisions for success and as you can see, under Toto’s leadership, he’s not been able to assemble a winning team; instead, he’s allowed the winning moves to slip right past him, including key people such as the sport’s greatest driver of all time: Sir Lewis Hamilton, of course!
There are a lot of people and entities that do not want Hamilton beating Schumacher’s record. For what ever reason that is we are not privy to it. What Ferrari figured out is that if Hamilton wins an 8th championship they will have had the two record holding drivers driving under Scuderia Ferrari. To them there’s no greater recognition. Everyone else for their own selfish reasons will loose out on this great accomplishment. I for one I’m glad it has turned out like this. 🇮🇹Andiamo Ferrari Andiamo 🇮🇹
When i opened this video, TH-cam showed a new interview toto did a couple of days ago, and the thumbnail says lewis is a friend and my question since when and how are u treating friends as enemy. I stopped liking toto since it became toto vs lewis am lewis fan, and i will always take his side and hate anything who takes something and does something to him.
The problem is that Toto wields too much power in the team. He is the TP, a significant shareholder, driver manager and negotiates the contracts etc. He juggles too many balls so the team is shaped around his world view, his experience, his emotions and his grudges. Brawn was the F1 man that lured LH, Toto jumped on that bandwagon and was even in team Nico’s team before he left. Lewis was his man while he was winning, now his true colours have to come to the fore. Over the years, team owners that are also TP’s are very difficult to work with as a driver - Frank Williams (RIP) and Patrick Head, Ken Tyrell (RIP), Eddie Jordan, Enzo Ferrari etc. They’re ruthless because they’re in too deep. If Toto was just a part owner with a separate TP, an employee that would be tasked and judged on where they Finish in the WCC, we wouldn’t be seeing all of this nonsense. Toto is hurt, powerful and trying to get revenge.
Exactly. Instead of explaining why their car isn’t competitive, he is trying to change the narrative as though he wanted to end the relationship with Lewis. Three years their car has lacked pace and they never got it right. He would rather talk about how he knew Lewis was going to leave and that they needed to move on from Lewis. Toto is butt hurt because Lewis made a move they weren’t ready for. Lewis fired Mercedes. Toto would rather ruin the relationship with their only multiple championship driver. Now Ferrari can boast that they have a 7 time champion.
Wolf wanted to force Lewis to retire after AD21. However, despite all the injustice Lewis realized what was happening and decided to leave Merc for Ferrari ..Toto thought Lewis would take it without a fight ..not happening said Lewis
To not make Lewis a brand ambassador, yet you made Nico Rosberg one is laughable...........I'm embarrassed to have supported Mercedes all of these years. Had Max driven for Mercedes from 2021-present, he would put hands on Toto or had an aneurysm by now.......Lewis makes sure to show appreciation for the mechanics and engineers who work feverishly behind the scenes, even if it is in vein..........People hate Lewis for what reason again?
Wish I knew why people hated him. I'll never understand and even the reasons most give are just unimportant. Dress sense and things that don't even relate to track performance mainly or so they say. Not only just giving Rosberg an ambassadorship, but also offering that same thing to his last championship rival is crazy imo. Rosberg at least did something for the team in the past but why they wouldn't give Lewis the same thing is beyond me... It makes little sense not to offer him that, and makes even less sense to offer that to Max instead. Crazy that one but honestly after everything I've seen this year I'm kinda of glad now. In fact not just this year, this year and 2016 there were a lot of questionable things happening though just probably not to the same extent and less obvious. Mechanical issues can be explained as freak occurrences but four of them was kinda suspicious. Still pales into insignificance compared to all the strategy errors, not allowing him to start from pits when the car was bad, starting him in the pits but running an experiment instead ready for new parts in Baku, failing to build his car properly twice etc. It wasn't just once or twice, but numerous times he's had things you rarely see happen and had very strange strategies like Singapore starting on soft tyres for one, less strange but Canada strategy was poor and other races his strategy was poor. Not starting from the pits in Brazil and Austin wasn't great either, especially when since Mexico you can see visible differences between the cars. Lewis car is always more loose, wayward or downright unstable. No way is Lewis (a guy only outqualified 3 times in a decade in the wet and just twice by George) 1.7 seconds slower in just one sector than George in the wet with similar cars. The difference isn't even subtle, it's obvious the rear was a lot worse on Lewis' car and this was blatantly obvious all weekend. Even looked bad in the dry.
Toto is ashamed of his and Mercedes handling of Lewis leaving their team after such a successful time together. With Lewis leaving ,Mercedes will have to start from the bottom as Russell is not going to make that team popular nor competitive.
Toto sat and seemingly went a long with Lewis clearly getting robbed of his deserved Championship 🏆 It was the beginning of the end at that point. Toto failed his Team to not go against F1 Leadership. It's been downhill for Merc since then and when Lauda passed.
Nothing new. Happened also to MSCH when he was on a way forced into retirement by Luca. But it is sad anyway. Business as usuall, no room for emotions and similar crap.
I think Toto's comments about he would have made his move on Charles or Lando doesn't make sense and it's not a valid reason to punish Lewis If Toto claims he knew Lewis will be leaving. Mercedes failed to listen to 7 times world champ to give him a competitive car to claim his 8th title for the last 3 years. Toto refused to take the Abu Dhabi 2021 race robbed into his own hands but decided to celebrate his construction championship. Lewis deserves a better treatment in last days with Mercedes than sabotaging his races
You said it yourself. When Lewis failed to win his 8th championship, Mercedes were hoping he would call it quits afterwards. When Michael Schumacher announced he would retire at the end of 2006, I supported his decision. He said he had done everything he could up to that point, there was nothing more he needed to prove. This is the kind of scenario Toto was hoping for Lewis to do. Instead, he kept on racing. All the while, Verstappen began winning more races. He still regrets letting him slip thru his fingers and is desperate to get him, even if it meant kicking out Lewis. To Mercedes, Lewis was costing them a lot of money and they don't like it when he's complaining a lot about the car's poor performance. In their eyes, there are other drivers out there who are cheaper and more than willing to tow the company line. They didn't liked it when Lewis said they weren't listening to him, as if he knew better than they how their car works. All Lewis had to do was just drive the car, don't talk about how bad the car is, and obey whatever is told of him. Since he refused to do all that, they tossed him aside like a dirty rag.
Do mercedes & wolff care about the Hamilton legscy, I think not, as soon as Lewis exposed how he's been racially abused within the sport from day1 & his participation in the BLM movement he had a target on his back. Following this his own team mercedes seemed to be championing a plan to humiliate him, create his self doubt, anxiety & ultimately retirement. However, Lewis, like a fox he is was wise to this & protected his stain free legacy the best way he could by not exposing this beast to the media himself but letting wolff & mercedes do a stellar job exposing themselves. I hope starting in 2025 mercedes would stop mentioning the name Lewis Hamilton and focus only on Russel/Antonelli. Ferrari must.enjoy all the privilege of having the star driver in their ranks, if the F1 media ever allows it!
I always thought the reason SLH was sabotaged in 2021, because if he had won his 8th title, he would have retired. FiA and F1 can't afford to lose their most valuable asset to the sport. However, your perspective is valid.
can't disagree with you about Merc treatment of Hamilton. It's shocking. He's well to be free of them. "where the fxck is my team"? All Merc will be known for.
No idea, but Mercedes has totaly distroyed their standing over the past 3 years and this year they have gone into over drive on trashing everything. Russel has got no chance of being a World Champ --- he is not good enough.
Ja, Luis ist loyale selhle, mit Charakter und korrekte Einstellung zu Team mercedes Nur leider die und Toto wissen nicht was das bedeutet Das was die mit Luis treiben und umgehen ist nur schande und charakter los Bin mich sicher das er ubestet das letzten Demütigung, und auf seine Kosten der Kronprinz bevorzugen Aber nexte Jahre kommt der alte Luis wider Und seine KLASSE ER IST DER GROSTE DER WELT ❤❤❤❤
Indeed! One of my Old Man's favourite sayings is "...jealousy is the strongest 💪 force on earth 🌎...", mediocre personalities of the ilk of Wolff tend to be jealous of charismatic "star-power" of the likes of SLH notwithstanding their billionaire status. Ergo, Toto Wolff's conspiritorial conduct, with this failed attempt, to sublimate SLH's qualities so as to in turn usurp himself into the limelight at the detrimental-expense of the Mercedes brand! Schadenfreude will let us enjoy Wolff's/Merc's biggest F1 own-goal of all time! "Fight the Power!" & Keep on Keeping on Truckin'...🚚! [#Eddie Kendricks]
Acredito que a Mercedes destrata o carro e sabota o carro de Hamilton. Na pratica fp1 e 3, o carro vai bem, derrepente na classificação e corrida o carro piora😮
F1 & Mercedes do not deserve Sir Lewis Hamilton. I still watch this parody of a sport because he is still in it, otherwise, I cancelled/unsubscribed to everything after Abu Dhabi 2021 and will leave when he retires. But, I might now continue with the Ferrari for believing in the G.O.A.T.. Le Clerc will do well to understudy how to become great during their short stint together.
Mercedes-AMG-Petronas Formula One Team should have had only one goal for next season: Their goal was to have Lewis score less points next season than he scored this season. The W16 will have a new engine, so the team should have had confidence, even if they had to manufacture it.
I've been saying this when nikki past. Nikki lauda was the one that convinced Slh to move to merc and he was the one that promised him the ambassadorial position. RIP NIKKI LAUDA RIP CHARLIE WHITING.
You are incorrect. It's not that it was legal, it's that the FIA 'claim' they found nothing to confirm that the front bib was adjusted in parc ferme. Red Bull (as we saw on TV) diverted the FIA's attention to the top panel on the nose where the bib could be adjusted, although awkwardly. The claim was the RB also had a panel behind the pedals in the cockpit that made the bib adjustment easier to do. And it is legal for mechanics to fiddle inside the cockpit during parc ferme for reasons of 'driver comfort'' - whereas they could not fiddle with the top nose panel. What IS illegal and remains so, is adjusting that bib and therefore ride height whilst the car is in parc ferme. Red Bull do illegal things on their car, such as the inertial braking system they had on since the start of 2022 and are allowed to get away with it unpunished because (a) they "co-operated and altered their car" an (b) the FIA does NOT want a big scandal like excluding RB from a championship (like Schumacher was in 1997 for simply swerving over to Villeneuve).
anyone who believes this ish needs to be checked. it's an 11min mind bending exercise to excuse LH for his "poor" season. age may have caught up with him or he's already checked out until he drives for Ferrari like any other employee rendering his remaining days at the office. next season will tell. i don't even like Toto but he's built that merc powerhouse that dominated for so long.
i never respected nor liked Toto how he pushed the great Ross Brawn out Mercedes. i warmed up to him because of Lewis, i always see him as a snake. Toto n Mercedes disrespected F1 GOAT LH#44 by offering him 1 year contract n denying him Ambassador role after retirement . Watch Mercedes fade away like how they were average before LH#44. Ferrari is UP n winning big with LH#44.
A brillant démonstration of Toto wolf's errors. But I do not agréé with you on one point : Wolf os not a good business man. Such humiliant treatments towards Lewis will cost a lot for Mercedes : Points for constructors champions hip. That' means lacking money in New investments. Others négative aspects : Sponsors not interested by Mercedes.Finally, a Real business man would have anticipated the difficults to Come with the New administration in America and thé crisis touching Germany and its cars factories. To complète this events, Mercedes réputation will be Bad with Lewis Hamilton's treatment.
You ( whoever/whatever you are ) are hilarious ! I always like these conspiracy lunatics. The lack of logic and common sense never fails to bring a smile to my face. ( and to all you fans: doesn't it make you suspicious that this ' youtuber' (?) never responds to questions or remarks ?
Toto is a team thief, lets face it, Ross Brawn built Mercedes from 2010. The moment it was clear Brawn built the team, did the hardwork with engine, chasis, base, and more...Toto came along and stole it all. Now with new regs, Toto displays how USELESS he really is as he wets his pants for Max from afar.
Did you say Lets be honest? Why would any team sit back to lose money from championship results?Hamilton will bring down Ferrari .Would words are total Biased BS
It’s all conjecture. It’s just that GR is faster than LH. It’s also evident that LH is not among the true greats like MSC, AS and JMF as he has been unable to dominate his teammates like the above cited greats did. Thanks.
toto offering verstappen everything that lewis wanted was the end for me. that guy is a snake.
Not only that Christian Horner snatching Franco Colapinto from Williams before Toto.

This!!!!!!,
When Mercedes crew didn't show up for Lewis's podium and he was embraced by McLaren, I unfollowed their account.
Ferrari not McLaren(there are SLH haters here).
When Mercedes didn't show,they knew they fucked up.
it was ferrari celebrating with hamilton and not mclaren
@@parabelluminvicta8380yes funny did they knew lewis wd come once to join them ?? Already ?
Did that really happen?? io stopped watching F1 in 2021. Thats sad if thats the case.
The fact that Mercedes didn't bring updates to the car in 2021 until the second half of the season was a sabotage in itself
Funny how Ferrari allow Carlos to do test for Williams but Mercedes deny Lewis 😂
They're like a bitter divorced parent who wants to punish their ex via the kid.
Nicki Lauda was the band-aid keeping team MB stable and competitive. Since his passing they have not been a top team.
Screw wolff and mercedes. I'm done with them!
Mercedes will become an afterthought for me once Lewis is out of it.
Toto and AMG Petronas are nothing without Nikki Lauda.
Hamilton will be remembered as a Ferrari and Mclaren, not as Mercedes one, despite all his wins with them
Bs
Honestly and Realistically! Toto Ola and Mercedes are going to seriously regret "Disrespecting" sir Lewis Hamilton in the very near Future...
The hate and jealousy on Lewis is beyond me. Toto the hypocrite is screwed next season with his team. Pack of wolves in sheep's clothing.

You're always on point with your commentary. Can't wait for 2025.
Nothing new. Happened also to MSCH when he was on a way forced into retirement by Luca. But it is sad anyway. Business as usuall, no room for emotions and similar crap.
Three more race and i am a running with the horse's
The reputation of Mercedes F1, is now experiencing acute moribundity.
I think Toto's comments about he would have made his move on Charles or Lando doesn't make sense and it's not a valid reason to punish Lewis If Toto claims he knew Lewis will be leaving.
Mercedes failed to listen to 7 times world champ to give him a competitive car to claim his 8th title for the last 3 years.
Toto refused to take the Abu Dhabi 2021 race robbed into his own hands but decided to celebrate his construction championship.
Lewis deserves a better treatment in last days with Mercedes than sabotaging his races
Toto is jealous of Lewis. It is as simple as that really.
You said it yourself. When Lewis failed to win his 8th championship, Mercedes were hoping he would call it quits afterwards. When Michael Schumacher announced he would retire at the end of 2006, I supported his decision. He said he had done everything he could up to that point, there was nothing more he needed to prove. This is the kind of scenario Toto was hoping for Lewis to do. Instead, he kept on racing. All the while, Verstappen began winning more races. He still regrets letting him slip thru his fingers and is desperate to get him, even if it meant kicking out Lewis. To Mercedes, Lewis was costing them a lot of money and they don't like it when he's complaining a lot about the car's poor performance. In their eyes, there are other drivers out there who are cheaper and more than willing to tow the company line. They didn't liked it when Lewis said they weren't listening to him, as if he knew better than they how their car works. All Lewis had to do was just drive the car, don't talk about how bad the car is, and obey whatever is told of him. Since he refused to do all that, they tossed him aside like a dirty rag.
He didnt "fail" to win, he was robbed
Do mercedes & wolff care about the Hamilton legscy, I think not, as soon as Lewis exposed how he's been racially abused within the sport from day1 & his participation in the BLM movement he had a target on his back. Following this his own team mercedes seemed to be championing a plan to humiliate him, create his self doubt, anxiety & ultimately retirement. However, Lewis, like a fox he is was wise to this & protected his stain free legacy the best way he could by not exposing this beast to the media himself but letting wolff & mercedes do a stellar job exposing themselves.
I hope starting in 2025 mercedes would stop mentioning the name Lewis Hamilton and focus only on Russel/Antonelli. Ferrari must.enjoy all the privilege of having the star driver in their ranks, if the F1 media ever allows it!
I always thought the reason SLH was sabotaged in 2021, because if he had won his 8th title, he would have retired. FiA and F1 can't afford to lose their most valuable asset to the sport. However, your perspective is valid.
can't disagree with you about Merc treatment of Hamilton. It's shocking. He's well to be free of them. "where the fxck is my team"? All Merc will be known for.
Toto's ego
No idea, but Mercedes has totaly distroyed their standing over the past 3 years and this year they have gone into over drive on trashing everything. Russel has got no chance of being a World Champ --- he is not good enough.
Ja, Luis ist loyale selhle, mit Charakter und korrekte Einstellung zu Team mercedes
Nur leider die und Toto wissen nicht was das bedeutet
Das was die mit Luis treiben und umgehen ist nur schande und charakter los
Bin mich sicher das er ubestet das letzten Demütigung, und auf seine Kosten der Kronprinz bevorzugen
Aber nexte Jahre kommt der alte Luis wider Und seine KLASSE ER IST DER GROSTE DER WELT ❤❤❤❤
Dankeschön das sie auch der mit mir der Meinung teilen
Indeed! One of my Old Man's favourite sayings is "...jealousy is the strongest 💪 force on earth 🌎...", mediocre personalities of the ilk of Wolff tend to be jealous of charismatic "star-power" of the likes of SLH notwithstanding their billionaire status. Ergo, Toto Wolff's conspiritorial conduct, with this failed attempt, to sublimate SLH's qualities so as to in turn usurp himself into the limelight at the detrimental-expense of the Mercedes brand!
Schadenfreude will let us enjoy Wolff's/Merc's biggest F1 own-goal of all time!
"Fight the Power!" & Keep on Keeping on Truckin'...🚚! [#Eddie Kendricks]
Sublime words 100% true.
Acredito que a Mercedes destrata o carro e sabota o carro de Hamilton. Na pratica fp1 e 3, o carro vai bem, derrepente na classificação e corrida o carro piora😮
Toto is convinced Max is Hamilton's perfect replacement and a better driver.
Better driver ?
F1 & Mercedes do not deserve Sir Lewis Hamilton. I still watch this parody of a sport because he is still in it, otherwise, I cancelled/unsubscribed to everything after Abu Dhabi 2021 and will leave when he retires. But, I might now continue with the Ferrari for believing in the G.O.A.T.. Le Clerc will do well to understudy how to become great during their short stint together.
It's bad enough having RB FIA as enemy but in you team aswel massive respect to sir Lewis Hamilton for navigating through this nightmare
We have to hope they don't set up the car to kill Hamilton , seeing how they are treating him.
Don't be daft
will never buy a mercedes car again in my life,,,,,,shame on toto wolf
When Lewis leaves were ditching everything Mercedes! Everything! Forza Ferrari! 💪
You could not stated that any better they throw their legacy, glory in the water for what cause they cant destroy LH he will shine always
Mercedes-AMG-Petronas Formula One Team should have had only one goal for next season:
Their goal was to have Lewis score less points next season than he scored this season.
The W16 will have a new engine, so the team should have had confidence, even if they had to manufacture it.
I am done with you. Toto's you are a disgrace treating a decent LH like that, shame on you.Niki would be turning in his grave.
I've been saying this when nikki past.
Nikki lauda was the one that convinced Slh to move to merc and he was the one that promised him the ambassadorial position.
RIP NIKKI LAUDA
RIP CHARLIE WHITING.
G Russel. Is NO. Lewis
I blame the obvious cognitive decline of Toto Wolff, he is clearly not thinking properly, poor guy! Hope his ass doesn’t get to hurt by it 🤣😂🤣
All makes sense Sabotaging Lewis to show the upper management he (toto) was right in his decision
I keep wondering how many sleepovers GR had at TW house and what sort of conversations they had around work…
In the name of Butthurt
Btw Sbinalla44, that Red Bull BIB system you were yapping about was deemed legal, all that conspiracy for nothing 🤷♂️
You are incorrect. It's not that it was legal, it's that the FIA 'claim' they found nothing to confirm that the front bib was adjusted in parc ferme. Red Bull (as we saw on TV) diverted the FIA's attention to the top panel on the nose where the bib could be adjusted, although awkwardly.
The claim was the RB also had a panel behind the pedals in the cockpit that made the bib adjustment easier to do.
And it is legal for mechanics to fiddle inside the cockpit during parc ferme for reasons of 'driver comfort'' - whereas they could not fiddle with the top nose panel.
What IS illegal and remains so, is adjusting that bib and therefore ride height whilst the car is in parc ferme.
Red Bull do illegal things on their car, such as the inertial braking system they had on since the start of 2022 and are allowed to get away with it unpunished because (a) they "co-operated and altered their car" an (b) the FIA does NOT want a big scandal like excluding RB from a championship (like Schumacher was in 1997 for simply swerving over to Villeneuve).
@Frank-v4g8v nothing explains away the cheating in last race 2021! Max is a manufactured champion.. that sir is in the history books!
@ so I’m confused, Red Bull changed there front bib after imola and the FIA approved of it?
@@CMDRRustyDog He is a little bit correct, people have still been saying Red Bull’s front BIB was still illegal after they supposedly changed it.
anyone who believes this ish needs to be checked. it's an 11min mind bending exercise to excuse LH for his "poor" season. age may have caught up with him or he's already checked out until he drives for Ferrari like any other employee rendering his remaining days at the office. next season will tell.
i don't even like Toto but he's built that merc powerhouse that dominated for so long.
Lots of fans moving to Ferrari.
They just don't want to recognize a black man a being above all other f1 drivers or even have the title of most f1 titles
Seems like sun has just risen
i never respected nor liked Toto how he pushed the great Ross Brawn out Mercedes. i warmed up to him because of Lewis, i always see him as a snake. Toto n Mercedes disrespected F1 GOAT LH#44 by offering him 1 year contract n denying him Ambassador role after retirement . Watch Mercedes fade away like how they were average before LH#44.
Ferrari is UP n winning big with LH#44.
Sour grapes!
A brillant démonstration of Toto wolf's errors. But I do not agréé with you on one point : Wolf os not a good business man. Such humiliant treatments towards Lewis will cost a lot for Mercedes : Points for constructors champions hip. That' means lacking money in New investments. Others négative aspects : Sponsors not interested by Mercedes.Finally, a Real business man would have anticipated the difficults to Come with the New administration in America and thé crisis touching Germany and its cars factories. To complète this events, Mercedes réputation will be Bad with Lewis Hamilton's treatment.
You ( whoever/whatever you are ) are hilarious !
I always like these conspiracy lunatics. The lack of logic and common sense never fails to bring a smile to my face.
( and to all you fans: doesn't it make you suspicious that this ' youtuber' (?) never responds to questions or remarks ?
Toto is a team thief, lets face it, Ross Brawn built Mercedes from 2010. The moment it was clear Brawn built the team, did the hardwork with engine, chasis, base, and more...Toto came along and stole it all. Now with new regs, Toto displays how USELESS he really is as he wets his pants for Max from afar.
I don't understand.......
Thinking about not F$#@%$ F1.........
I hate toetoe Wolff I hate merc
Lewis' toxic fans will say the same about Ferrari
Did you say Lets be honest? Why would any team sit back to lose money from championship results?Hamilton will bring down Ferrari .Would words are total Biased BS
Your words are bais too, we see straight through you.
It’s all conjecture. It’s just that GR is faster than LH. It’s also evident that LH is not among the true greats like MSC, AS and JMF as he has been unable to dominate his teammates like the above cited greats did. Thanks.
Merc is good car I think the best on the grid.
