Toto Wolff on why Mercedes are better than Ferrari

Toto Wolff has spoken up about the differences he sees between Mercedes and Ferrari and why his team are more successful. 

Toto Wolff has been leading Mercedes dominance for the past few years and believes that there is a reason his team stand above the others.  

"Part of our DNA is that we remain modest as we win," Wolff told the Dutch magazine Formule 1.

"We do not take the win for granted -- we do not see it as something that is self-evident or our right," he added. "We do not go into every weekend with the attitude that winning is a must.

"If there are races in which second is the maximum and we have done our utmost, I have peace with it. I think that is the biggest difference between us and Ferrari," 

"They have the attitude that anything less than victory is not enough. They have to win. Being second is a failure, even if they still did their best."

Ferrari came close to challenging Mercedes in 2018 but a number of things went against them. The Italian team have undergone a major management shakeup and they will hope that the mindset of the team will change with this as well.
