Mercedes boss Toto Wolff thinks fuel prices will come crashing down before Lewis Hamilton wins the the world title again.
Between 2014 and 2020, all seven drivers' championships went the way of the Silver Arrows, with six of them being won by Hamilton. The exception to his dominance came in 2016, when team-mate Nico Rosberg prevailed.
That run was ended in controversial circumstances last year by Red Bull driver Max Verstappen, following the dubious safety car procedure that marred the season ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. However, it was Mercedes who still notched an eighth successive constructors' title via Hamilton and former driver Valtteri Bottas.
