Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says nobody in the team is “going to leave this circuit with the mentality of this is going away from us”.
A significantly faster Red Bull has dealt a hard blow to Mercedes with a strong win at the Mexican Grand Prix.
The constructors’ championship is now very close, while Max Verstappen sits 19 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton in the drivers’ championship standings.
Despite all of this, Toto Wolff says the team is not at all feeling like the championship is lost.
“I’m a pretty realistic person, but I love motor racing, because anything can happen,” the Austrian said.

“None of us are ever going to leave this circuit with the mentality of this is going away from us.
“There’s four races to go, there’s four wins to take, four DNFs to suffer. And we will just continue fighting.
“We know we have a great team. Our car was exceptionally good in Turkey. And I think we have all to win.
“But when you look at the mathematically probability, obviously I’d rather be 19 points ahead than behind.
“But it is what it is,” Wolff concluded.
