Toto Wolff has been at the helm of Mercedes at its most dominant time. The turbo-hybrid era of Formula 1 will always be stamped with the badge of the Silver Arrows. That being said, the Austrian has probably accepted that as all good things come to an end, their dominance, too, has.

We want to demonstrate that our car is fast and the whole team put just so much work into upgrading the car, it would be fantastic for them if we can make it happen for one of the last two remaining races this year.”
