Mercedes-AMG need to stay humble: Toto Wolff
Affalterbach (Germany), Dec 30 (IANS) Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team part-owner and executive director Toto Wolff has urged his side to stay humble after their past success in the F1 Championship.
Mercedes AMG finished as the top constructor with 668 points while their premiere driver Lewis Hamilton topped the drivers’ standings in the 2017 Formula One World Championship season.
“I think we have a good organisation in place and somehow the wheel rolls now, but having said that you must never underestimate any of the competition,” the Austrian was quoted as saying by Fox Sports.
“It can go super quick and suddenly you are on the back foot and the car is not as good as the others and we have seen that with Ferrari how quickly they can turn it around (the other way) from a so-so season to a world championship challenger in 2017.
“So I think it’s important to stay humble, forget about your own achievements — we are taking all the stickers off the doors here saying we have won the championship — because in 2018 it all starts from zero again,” Wolff added.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
