Mercedes' thoughts on Scuderia Ferrari

Recently Mercedes held an event called 'Stars and Cars' in order to celebrate their best year in Motorsport. Stars and Cars was very similar to Race of Champions , there were a number of drivers retired racers like Mika Hakkinen, David Coulthard , up-coming drivers like Mick schumacher (who received the highest number of fan votes in order to enter the competition) and of course various other Mercedes driver from across the racing industry i.e, DTM , F1 ( yes Nico rosberg and Lewis Hamilton were there) , Formula 3 etc.
Daniel Juncadella was crowned champion of stars and cars

An acquaintance of mine was able to attend this event and so i asked them to ask Toto Wolff ( Owner and ED of Mercedes AMG) on his thoughts about the Threat from Ferrari and this is what he had to say : " We think that they are doing a good job , they are taking some intelligent decisions , it's a good bunch of people and they have all the resources they need. They made a big step from 2014 to 2015 and we expect them to be a stronger competitor next year. Actually it's something that we are looking forward to"
Toto had decided to answer this as team boss and from the looks of it Mercedes might have an actual challenger in 2016 This should make things a whole lot interesting in the 2016 Formula One season.

Until the next race ,

Goodbye

They share a common love for cycling and are often seen together in the paddock ,F1 or Le Mans. P.S their "shipped name is webbando" 2.Sebastian Vettel/Kimi Raikkonen Now teammates these two have been friends ever since Vettel's entry into F1 in 2007.
