However, in an interview, they recently spilled the beans on what allows them to be good at what they do.

Speaking about the rivalry, Wolff explained, “If the debriefing room is full of negativity because the two drivers are hostile with each other then that will spill over into the energy in the room and that is not something I will ever allow again.”
