Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, however, was asked if the believes it is actually THE best current F1 line-up.
“If we give them the right car, yes,” the Austrian said.
“I think there’s a few others, Max [Verstappen], you cannot doubt him. He’s already one of the best drivers. If you give our [drivers] a great car, then we’ll be right there.”

However, after the summer break he seemed to get back into his groove.
“Everybody needs some feedback. He’s a very strong character and he came out of the summer [break] very strong,” Toto continued.
“He changed his approach a little bit and that was good. Then it swung the other way around. Lewis performed in an extraordinary way but I think these swings they happen.
“They happen from track to track with this fragile cars, you know you can come from a very good weekend to a very bad suddenly.
“Everyone needs an arm around the shoulder. I have my wife who puts an arm around my shoulder,” he concluded.
