Not often I agree with Toto...

"It's unbelievable that Lewis has now achieved this 91st victory," said Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff of his driver. But the Austrian also has to admit that Michael Schumacher will always have a special place for him. "For me, Michael is still above everyone else."

Options eh? Like bum holes everyone has one.

I haven't seen that comment quoted anywhere myself and I am a bit disappointed in Toto if he said that publicly while his star driver is still active and busy shattering records / raising the bar. Would need to see the quote in context to judge, but I'd say that comes across as a bit disrespectful to me.

I read the quote here https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/artic...Xa2gg.html and I think this is what is being referred to?

And it isn't actually worded the way it is in Forzas (rather baity) post above. Read it in context and you could interpret it in several ways. I cut / paste it verbatim below in blue

“It’s unbelievable that Lewis has reached those 91 wins,” said Wolff. “For me, Michael stands above all, he’s an icon, and personally, equalling that record, and us equalling the Ferrari record last year [of six consecutive constructors’ titles], is almost surreal. But records are here to be broken, and I think that’s what Michael said as well. Lewis is still on his journey, but maybe there is somebody in nursery, or school that will one day go for the Lewis record and that’s how it should be.”

I don't interpret that as Toto saying he thinks Michael is better than Lewis. Far from it, to me that reads more like Toto having total respect for MS as he did stand above all. But Lewis and Mercedes have now beaten him anyway. Probably should be worded as "Michael stood above all", because I'm afraid he doesn't anymore.
