Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto says there would be no argument over Formula 1 rules if Sebastian Vettel hadn’t been penalised during the Canadian Grand Prix and duly lost the race to Lewis Hamilton.

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has called for the Formula 1 community to not put pressure on the race stewards in the wake of their ruling on Sebastian Vettel in Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix.

Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff says he Sebastian Vettel is “absolutely right” to be angry about his controversial penalty in the Canadian Grand Prix.

The Mercedes Formula 1 team has been left with “some question marks” as to what caused Lance Stroll’s engine failure during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend.

Toto Wolff hopes Mercedes’ “very good” long-run pace will prove beneficial in the fight against Ferrari during Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix. 

Mercedes is losing as much as 0.6s on the straights compared to Formula 1 rivals Ferrari heading into Canadian Grand Prix qualifying, according to team boss Toto Wolff.

Toto Wolff fears a proposed rules tweak to majorly restrict how Formula 1 teams can work on their cars throughout practice risks opening a “can of worms”. 

A shift in car design and development philosophy has been key to ensuring Mercedes has retained its place at the top of Formula 1’s pecking order, says Toto Wolff.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says Lewis Hamilton “saved us” with his race-winning stint on worn tyres to hold off Max Verstappen to claim an emotional victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, but feels had it been any other circuit it would have been a race the team would have lost.

Toto Wolff says he and Lewis Hamilton share a “similar frame of mind” over the death of Niki Lauda, which has left a “huge black cloud” over the Mercedes Formula 1 team. The three-time F1 world champion and Mercedes non-executive chairman passed away earlier this week at the age of 70.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has led the tributes to Niki Lauda who passed away on Monday and says both F1 and his squad has “lost a guiding light” in the three-time world champion.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has repeated his calls for the reigning Formula 1 world champions to remain modest with a long campaign ahead and fears his squad could struggle at Monaco given its recent form at the iconic street circuit.

Toto Wolff has heaped praise on outgoing Mercedes-Benz head Dieter Zetsche for keeping Mercedes in Formula 1 throughout a difficult period upon its return to the sport.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff hails the reigning Formula 1 world champions’ fifth consecutive 1-2 result at the start of 2019 as “one of the strongest we’ve had in seven years” and says his team doesn’t fear a resurgence from Ferrari or Red Bull.

In keeping with the theme of the 2019 Formula 1 season thus far, Mercedes once again capitalised on Ferrari’s slip-up in qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Saturday to snatch away an unlikely front row lock-out.

Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff came up with the initial suggestion for his team to carry out a double-stack pit stop with its drivers during the Chinese Grand Prix.

So much of the post-Chinese Grand Prix focus lay on Ferrari: its use of team orders; its strategic confusion; its failure – again – to put up any kind of fight for victory.

Mercedes Formula 1 chief Toto Wolff has warned Ferrari could be "opening up a can of worms" through its use of team orders during the Chinese Grand Prix, but understands the call to swap Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel on-track.

Toto Wolff says the rival Ferrari team holds a straight-line speed advantage worth 0.3 seconds in China this weekend, with the deficit being made up by Mercedes through the corners at the Shanghai International Circuit.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff believes the considerable pace deficit his team has suffered to Ferrari of “up to several tenths” means it must apply pressure to force mistakes from its Formula 1 world title rivals.

Mercedes chief Toto Wolff says he always expected Charles Leclerc to be a Formula 1 world title threat in his promotion to Ferrari over the winter and is certain he is already “a young champion in the making”.

Toto Wolff says Mercedes felt “subdued” following its surprise victory in Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix, calling Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc “the emotional winner” after his late demise.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says he would prefer his drivers not to chase the additional fastest lap point introduced for the 2019 Formula 1 season. For this season, drivers can earn a bonus point for setting the fastest lap of the race, providing they finish inside the top ten.

Formula 1 officials could extend the deadline to finalise the sporting and technical regulations for the 2021 season beyond the end of June, according to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.
