Toto Wolff thinks that it would be impossible for Mercedes to win every single race this year despite their incredible start to the 2019 F1 season.

The recent Monaco Grand Prix was the only one this year that Mercedes had not finished first and second, and they may have done if Max Verstappen was not dangerously released in the pitlane, giving Valtteri Bottas a puncture.

Asked whether his team could win every race this season, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff replied: "No, it's not realistic to think about that.

"We should stay humble and with both feet on the ground, and I'm not just saying that, it's really the mentality we have."

Wolff’s sentiment is something Red Bull boss Christian Horner agrees with. He added: "Never say never, but it would be a great achievement. What is certain is that this is a Mercedes championship. They may be very close to maximum points."
