Wolff dismisses pressure on Verstappen and Hamilton: 'All bulls**t'

According to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, talk of pressure in the title fight between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen is 'all bulls**t'. According to the Austrian, the discussion is inflated by the media.

Drivers do what they have been doing for years

Hamilton and Verstappen are in a fierce battle. At times it seems that more mistakes are being made by the two drivers, so people are quick to point out the pressure that rests on the shoulders of both drivers. Wolff, however, wants to know nothing of this. "The whole pressure discussion is all bulls**t," he said according to The Race.

"You're getting into the car, you've done it all your life, you're doing as good as you can, sometimes you're making mistakes, sometimes not. And it's the same with the team. You just need to have a good car and look after yourself, be in the right spot," Wolff continued.

Hamilton and Verstappen are exceptional talents

"I believe in car performance and I believe in human performance. And if you're not mentally able to perform at the very pinnacle of racing you wouldn't have made it into Formula 1 . And you wouldn't have won races," said Wolff. Wolff believes the media has 'blown up' the story of the pressure.
