Wolff: "Aldo Costa is the first to believe in a long cycle of victories" – F1 Team – Formula 1

With the one-two from Austin, which allowed Lewis Hamilton to confirm himself as world champion, the Mercedes entered the history of Formula 1 even more as the first team to score six consecutive victories in both world titles. A truly incredible undertaking, which goes beyond that of the Ferrari of the golden years of Schumacher and could not be shared with all the hard-working employees during the year between the Brackley and Brixworth offices.

Mercedes, what a party at Brixworth

Just during the party organized in the factory that since 1995 designs and manufactures the Formula 1 engines of the three-pointed star, the team principal Toto Wolff has expressed beautiful words of thanks for all the guys in the team and took the opportunity to also tell a story very interesting anecdote which was the prelude to this long cycle of victories.

“I remember the first meeting of sports management in 2013 in which we set our goals for the first time on paper, which included the struggle to win the championship – said the Austrian manager – On that occasion, however, Aldo Costa said we had to be more ambitious and aim to win more championships. The first thing I thought was that it was something unlikely, but in the end we succeeded and we are here, seven years later, to celebrate the sixth consecutive success in both championships. Sometimes I still pinch myself because I find it hard to believe it and all this thanks to the fantastic team that works between Brixworth and Brackley ".

"Thanks to the commitment of the boys in England we managed to achieve something that has never been done before and we did it for Mercedes, one of the most loved brands in the world. Of this, each of them must be extremely proud of it" Wolff concluded.
