Toto Wolff insists natural talent is more important – Formula 1 news
Lotus executive director, Toto Wolff has said that the natural talent is more important for a driver to outshine in F1 as compared to the pays he gets.
Wolff said that a driver who has got the money and a reasonable talent in himself can surely make his way into the sport. However, he insisted that he can never outperform his rival who has got some extraordinary talent.
"I believe a rich and moderately talented driver can now get into Formula One," he told motorline.cc. "But he will never drive the car on the limit like someone who has been noticed since birth."
In addition, he said that the future in the game depends on the skills and abilities of the drivers who can really show up their talent on track as compared to those who make merely an entry.
He added: "It is about perception, intelligence, someone who can see the big picture in the race."
The Grove based team has an amazingly talented pair of drivers, Pastor Maldonado and Bruno Senna and is presently standing at 7th place in the constructors’ championship with 53 points.
Maldonado scored an incredible win in the Spanish Grand Prix and took his team first victory since 2004. Moreover, he became the first ever driver from Venezuela to win a race in F1.
Although, he has got some special competencies, however, he has not been able to score even a single point after the Spanish GP as he struggled with finding his true pace.
At present, he is standing at 11th place in the drivers’ rankings with 29 points and is sharing his position with the seven-time world champion, Michael Schumacher of Mercedes. Moreover, he is ahead of Paul di Resta of Force India and is behind
Kamui Kobayashi of Sauber.
On the other hand, Senna is at 15th position in the drivers’ championship with 24 points. Furthermore, he is ahead of Nico Hulkenberg of Force India and is behind Felipe Massa of Ferrari.
Even though, the British team has been facing some issues at this point in time, nevertheless, they are aiming to come up stronger after the August break.
