Toto Wolff’s “churlish and not very gracious” comments about Max Verstappen’s F1 dominance show that “he’s hurting a bit now”, according to Damon Hill.
Mercedes team principal Wolff was dismissive of Verstappen’s record 10-race winning streak after Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix, describing the feat as “irrelevant” and being a number for a Wikipedia statistics page.When asked about Verstappen’s historic achievement at Monza, Wolff told Sky Sports:"Our situation was maybe a little bit different because we had two drivers fighting against each other within the team.
"I don't know whether he cares about the record. It's not something that would be important for me, any of those numbers.Wolff later said the Dutchman’s winning streak, something Mercedes failed to accomplish during their own period of domination between 2014 and 2020, is “completely irrelevant”."It sounded a bit churlish and not very gracious, and unlike Toto because he's usually very sporting," Hill told Sky Sports News.
"I think he's hurting a bit now. They know what it's like to be dominated and they didn't even get on the podium. "They seem to be a bit stymied and can't seem to work out what to do, but who can? Ferrari did a great job in Monza - it suited their car, I think - but it seems like everywhere we go, the Red Bull has got the upper hand and we've just got to sit and watch this unfold.
