If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Just had a look at the weather ahead of this weekend, as Europe continuous to go through a bit of a heat-wave.

All temps in the low-mid 30's.

Cannot help but wonder if any of the Ferrari powered teams will be somewhat more concerned than others with regards to reliability ahead of this weekend... expecting to see a lot more cooling louvers/vents etc.

to be honest as things are with these cars, they should skip the chicane in the back straight and make it all the way straight

Someone remember Toto what happened in F1 between 2014 and 2020. And then also 2021 as it was a two way fight as well, like now, which he thinks is not entertaining.

If you look at the follow up posts on that tweet its clear that this guy has shaped Wolff's comments to fit the narrative.
Hes speaking on a general gap between top teams and the midfield down NOT RB and ferrari.

IIRC he also made this comment during their domination years as well, calling for the teams to step up.

Toto is being taken out of context. I am sure he was reffering to the sprint. And we can all agree the sprint races makes no sense because the front runners predictably stay at the front. He was not speaking of F1 as a whole.
I sonewhat agree, the spring race is only for for 10 laps at most.
For Sure!!

If the rationale is that races do not make sense if the front runnners stay at the front, i would advocate for not having main races either, because the same thing happens there.

He can't be referring to sprint races alone, it would make no sense.

Have we all already forgotten of the teams asking for MORE sprint quali in 2023 and the FIA saying they want more money to do more sprint quali? So the teams would unanimously fight the FIA to get more sprint events, and then Toto would come out, like 2 months later, saying that sprint races only are bad? Would make no sense.

"If you have Verstappen disappearing in a distance, the two Ferraris being the only entertainment during the race and then we are in the middle of nowhere in no man's land. Then the others are further behind, and then you have DRS trains. That never can make a good sprint race."
