Red Bull teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez has won just twice and been no match for Verstappen, who heads into the summer break with a massive 125-point championship as he c🐓an𝔍ters towards a third consecutive title. 

Although Wolff reiterated his belief that F1 should be a meritocracy, he pointed out that things were different at the height of Mercedes' dominance when 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Rosberg were battling it༺ out for titles between 2014 and 20🌱16. 

“I don't know whether our🍬 dominance was similar or less as I think we had years where we did it in the same way, but at least we had two cars that were fighting each other,” Wolff said after watching Verstappen’s crushing victory a♔t the Belgian Grand Prix. 

“So that caused a little bit of entertai🉐nment for everyone, and that's not the case at t🅠he moment.

“It is what it is and꧒ I often say that it's a meritocracy and i♎t's up to us to fight back.”

“Did we 🅰expect that gap? Certainly not,” he added. “I think with the last step of upgrade, it seems they have another advantage that they that were 🥃able to exploit.

“But again, it alw🐼ays gets me back to the point of we have just got to dig in and do the best possible job."
