Toto Wolff boasts as Mercedes boss enjoys his 'little revenge'

The Austrian CEO and team principal was glad to see the Mercedes prodigy win his first Formula 1 Grand Prix. Over the team radio, he said: "He's too young. We shouldn't put him a Mercedes. Put him in a smaller team. He needs the experience. Look at the mistakes he makes. Here we go Kimi. Victory."

Reacting to his message, Wolff told GPblog among others after the race: "When all of a sudden things go bad, there's the people that come out and say that was a bad decision and Mercedes took too much risk.

The team principal also highlighted that in Formula 1, everyone's memory resets once the next weekend is on. "Today it's great. In two weeks we are in Japan and he puts it in the wall and people say he’s too young. So I think we need to just keep the feet on the ground."

The Austrian added: "You need to write that in Italy also. Please help him, because remember last year, ‘Grande Kimi’, whatever it was, and then came Imola and it was an avalanche of pressure. There shouldn't be any pressure at the moment."
