Toto Wolff, the Compulsive Perfectionist Behind Mercedes's Formula ... (The New Yorker)

Mercedes drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, dominated the world's fastest motorsport for a decade. Now they can't win a race.

Hamilton had won the previous three races; he had the car on a string. The Dutch Grand Prix was the fifteenth of the season, and Mercedes’s best results so far were a couple of second-place finishes. He sees himself simultaneously as a competitor and as someone who is shaping the future of a multibillion-dollar business. In 2021, with five laps remaining in the final race of the season, Hamilton was leading the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, on his way to an eighth individual world title and solitary greatness. One of the aims of the new rules was to reconfigure the downforce generated by the cars, to reduce the amount of “dirty air” left in their wakes and to allow for closer racing. A million people waited in the heat to pay their respects, and many spoke of their saudade—an inexpressible state of longing for something that is gone. “He’s playing a game and he is always one move in advance,” one of them told me. Wolff, who speaks five languages and whose wife, Susie, is a former racing driver, is one of the show’s natural stars. The “formula” of Formula 1 refers to a set of rules, first enshrined after the Second World War, to bring some order to the urge to race dangerous cars on the asphalt of foreign cities. Wolff, who is fifty, is the best team boss in the recent history of the world’s fastest motorsport. Somewhere in the fumes was death. A Grand Prix begins when a row of five red lights above the start line is extinguished, one by one, but, for a short time before, the track is a twenty-thousand-horsepower mob scene.

But even as I say it, I'm like, Carlos Sainz has been driving so strong, he's amazing, Lando is starting to peak at the right time, so it's hard to say. He'll be like, ‘I was in Monaco in 1999 and this happened’, and having that experience of a guy knowing how hard it was and doing it at the highest level and succeeding, it's really, really cool. Max [Verstappen] looks really unbeatable, we all see it week to week, he just finds a way to drive faster, drive smarter, just make all the right moves. ESPN's taking a greater interest in it as well, and now I think that Amazon getting involved, I think it's going to change the game. I know Danny [Ricciardo] a little bit and I love him but I still have so much respect for him and what he does. I have more and more friends who say, "Don't tell me what happened because I'm recording the race and I want to watch it later." There's so much fun to be had in Formula 1, it's such a great thing, so I think we're trying to bring that kind of energy. So they heard Danny Ricciardo on Smartless, then subsequent to that, when Amp decided that they wanted to get into this space in F1, obviously they got Mika Hakkinen, who's a two-time champ and a legend, then they got other sports people like Katie Osborne and Michelle Beadle, who can speak to sports and know how to drive sports commentary, and The Kid Mero. And I'm learning on the job and hopefully people listening are kind of learning with me. Like a lot of people, Formula 1 was something that kind of existed out there and that I would sort of not really pay attention to. It was so immediate that I found myself looking at, not just the races, but I've got to watch qualis, I've got to see all of it, because you get into the drama of it all. What you might not associate with Will Arnett is a love of Formula 1.

Formula 1 picks, odds, race time: Surprising 2022 United States ... (CBSSports.com)

SportsLine's model analyzes Max Verstappen and the rest of the field's chances at the F1 Aramco US GP 2022 race at Circuit of the Americas.

So who wins the United States Grand Prix 2022? One massive shocker: the model is fading Sergio Perez even though he's the fourth favorite for the 2022 United States Grand Prix at 8-1. Before analyzing the 2022 United States Grand Prix starting grid and making any Formula 1 picks, Perez's average finish in Austin has been ninth in nine United State Grand Prix starts and he's only landed on the podium once. The 2022 United States Grand Prix will be the 19th race of the Formula 1 season and the focus of the competition has shifted to who will finish as the runner-up for the drivers' championship after Max Verstappen clinched the F1 World Championship in Japan two weeks ago. Verstappen has 12 wins on the season and he's listed as the -200 favorite (risk $200 to win $100) in the 2022 United States Grand Prix odds from Caesars Sportsbook.

Winners and losers from F1's 2022 United States Grand Prix - The ... (The Race)

Winners · Red Bull and Max Verstappen · Mercedes · Lando Norris · Fernando Alonso · Sebastian Vettel · Kevin Magnussen.

Though he was robbed of it on paper, in the eyes of the F1 world he is a winner on track this weekend. And there was plenty to admire in his qualifying and early-race performance. What mattered was that Vettel actually drove one of the finest races of the second half (post-Red Bull golden era) of his F1 career at Austin. Good as it would have been to see Mercedes back in the winners’ circle, a record-equalling 13th victory of the season was a fitting reward for Verstappen. he wasn’t stationary for five seconds. It was also partly negated by Alonso’s penalty elevating Vettel to seventh later anyway. Haas knew how important a first points-score since July’s Austrian GP would be. It was extraordinary enough that Alonso even continued in the race. But he was entirely to blame for the crash that sent his 2023 team-mate Alonso skyward, and the outcome of it could’ve been a lot worse. But there’s no way the Alpine was at its best after that terrifying incident, and yet Alonso brought it back up to sixth place and was only just pushed back to seventh on the road by Norris in a much fresher-tyred McLaren in the final moments. He ultimately lost out on Mercedes’ first victory of 2022 in the final laps of the race, but the team was still a convincing and credible threat to Red Bull on Sunday. It might seem odd to put the ‘loser’ of the fight at the front in the winners’ category but this was a really solid victory challenge from both Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes today.

An emotional weekend for Red Bull culminated in them securing the championship double. Vettel led the 3,500th lap of his F1 career today and passed the Haas of Kevin Magnussen on the final lap to finish eighth. Finishing P2, Hamilton maintained his record of finishing in the top four at every F1 race held in Austin. Today was Leclerc’s fifth consecutive podium finish, the longest streak of his F1 career. Verstappen’s victory for the team was his 13th of the season, which ties the record set by Michael Schumacher in 2004 and Sebastian Vettel in 2013. It was Verstappen’s 33rd race win, which matches his regular race number, and coincidentally matches the F1 win total of all American drivers combined.
