Toto Wolff wants to see Aston Martin put up a good fight against Red Bull this season – but not just because he leads the defending champions' main Formula 1 rivals.
The Austrian had a pretty miserable time in Bahrain last weekend as his Mercedes team struggled to make much of an impression. Even before Sunday's race, he was already admitting in public that his team needs to rethink its car concept.
Finishing fifth and seventh in the race hardly improved his mood. He declared it was "one of the worst days in racing" he has ever experienced and called upon his team to "get our act together" and try to rescue something out of what looks likely to be another difficult year for Mercedes.
