[@liamthompson2604]

I thought it was an excellent interview. DC covered a lot of topics and Toto seems to be a very caring and thoughtful man. I think Mercedes will soon be fighting at the top of F1 alongside Red Bull and Ferrari with him in charge. It also looks like Lewis could be racing well into his 40’s!!. I think it’s time people stop speculating when he will leave F1 and let him continue to do what he wants to do. When he leaves F1 it will be his decision and his alone.

[@iansmith5163]

Impressive guy. Of all the titans of team management in my lifetime perhaps only he and Frank Williams have escaped without serious honesty/integrity clouds hanging over them. Chapman, maybe the greatest of them all, will forever be tarnished from defrauding the British tax payer over the DeLorean business. Dennis was caught red handed with Ferrari’s technical specs, Brawn was a real poacher turned gamekeeper starting with retaining outlawed active traction control on the Benetton and then allowing Schumacher’s habitual cheating. And now Horner looks like he’s been introducing too many upgrades for the budget although one suspects FIA will let him off.
