First Hamilton who is discrediting Max by saying he never had a decent teammate, and now this from Toto.
They aren't handling the losing-part of the sport very well over at Merc...

The way he says it really shows how much it actually does bother him.
Echoing what I saw on the other site, itβs got to be hard to get beat at the end of your dominant regulation cycle, by a questionable call, then to come out the next year with what you believe to be a race car that would crush the competition and having it be absolute shit must feel terrible. Merc is having a bad few years and itβs got to be demoralizing for the team, some of which probably had only experienced the dominant period.
Two things Toto's Mercedes team can't do:
- Build a winning areo car
- Act gracefully when recognizing the dominance of their rival
Toto and Lewis are Titans who are making themselves look small with these sour grapes comments
Eh, there's something to criticize about the absolute piles of smugness coming from) bredbull /max. These comments get hyped up, while any humble stuff is never mentioned. It's a competitive sport, people will inevitably say shit, none of it will ever completely define anyone.
"questionable" ...? That's putting it very mildly.
The ocean wants it's salt back. Can't we just appreciate his achievements and move on.
Ah yes team boss who doesn't care about winning, yet slams his hand on the desk more often than merc gets a podium these days
Lol he genuinely made that Wikipedia stab in multiple TV interviews
Wonder if he said the same if it was a merc driver doing it
Cope and seethe Toto. Cope and seethe
I get it Toto. 10 straight wins for Max and company, who cares... Its all about the team and the ability to respond to the conditions each week, to have your cars positioned the best they can be, without winning.
Then Toto wonβt mind if this gets posted all over the place as a snide reference to him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozymandias
