Toto on Max's 10 in a row: Our situation was different because we had two guys 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. It's for Wikipedia. Nobody reads that anyway

The way he says it really shows how much it actually does bother him.

Echoing what I saw on the other site, it’s got to be hard to get beat at the end of your dominant regulation cycle, by a questionable call, then to come out the next year with what you believe to be a race car that would crush the competition and having it be absolute shit must feel terrible. Merc is having a bad few years and it’s got to be demoralizing for the team, some of which probably had only experienced the dominant period.

Two things Toto's Mercedes team can't do:

  1. Build a winning areo car
  2. Act gracefully when recognizing the dominance of their rival

Toto and Lewis are Titans who are making themselves look small with these sour grapes comments

Eh, there's something to criticize about the absolute piles of smugness coming from) bredbull /max. These comments get hyped up, while any humble stuff is never mentioned. It's a competitive sport, people will inevitably say shit, none of it will ever completely define anyone.
