This is one of the very best interviews with Toto. The journalist deserves plaudits for her execption work.

Got to say Jess, that was a really good interview. You got Toto to really open up. He is quite an open individual, but it felt like you were not trying to 'catch him out', but an informed interview. Really excellent journalism.

Top class interview, this woman is excellent and an absolute credit to her profession. I forgot what a professional journalist looks like. Top class

I normally do not leave comments, but this is by far the best interview done with an F1 leader. The interviewer did the homework, was respectful and genuine while being pointy with the questions. Hats off! We need her in F1 as lead journalist! And Wolff said it himself, clearly enjoying when there's homework behind and competence! A delight! We should launch a petition to bring her in F1. The only one that comes close is Brundle, Steiner nowadays 😄 and Will Buxton. Frankly I had enough of the "banalities" from other journalists in the pen or press conferences "How do you reflect on..?" Type of questions, who also just go with whatever the "drama" of the paddock questions, as opposed to staying true to motor racing questions!

What a great interviewer. One of, if not the best interviews I have seen in formula 1. Insightful, respectful intelligent questions that showed a good understanding of current issues in the context of historical achievements. This is how you get good answers and content. First rate.

Cracking interview .. Toto was fully relaxed and candid. Nice work Jess.

Props to Toto for answering with a lot of transparency

This was a very well done interview. Looked like Toto enjoyed it too. Great work!

Best Toto interview in a long time, so relaxt, top!

This was a brilliant interview to watch! So well spoken and brilliant questions

Great interview. Jess is a natural. Super friendly and disarming in a way. Im sure it's frustrating for Toto but she got him to open up and smile a little. Hopefully Mercedes can turn it around. The W15 seems to be their most finicky car yet

Great interview! Toto being very open and honest too.

the more jetlagged Toto is, the more he sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger 😂

This was actually a HUGE interview. Feels like we have a much better understanding of what Mercedes is looking for

Jess Yates has done some great interviews over the weekend.

Just wow. Awesome interview. Fresh, quick, informative… great job!

This is how interviews are done. Kudos to this journalist to keeping it simple. Sky sports -learn

Respectful and knowledgeable. That's a great journalist here. One of the best interviews with Toto I have ever watched.

Best interview I have ever seen with Toto 👏

Very good interview

I cannot believe that Toto actually said that they will try to decide by summer! Tantalizing!

A journalist asking the questions we want to know. Clearly knows her stuff and had all the research done. Great interview

One of the best F1 interviews I have seen till date. Good job team.

Awesome interviewer! Refeshing.

Great interview. Great questions. Hats off to toto for giving us such insights.

Jess Yates is a real pro. Straight to the point. Disarming. Penetrating. Efficient. Bravo.

Really good interview. Thats showing those SkySports clowns how its done.

very interesting to see him be so open, this was a very respectfull interview from the reporter's side aswell. And at the end it was a bit of a love note to Max from Toto I feel to keep the possibility alive

Great interview.

Jess Yates! I wish there were more interviewers like you that come prepared with interesting questions and engage their interviewee! Well done.

An amazing interview Jess!!

Great interview one of the best I have seen

Great interview!! Rare for me to comment on UKposts but this interviewer did the HW :)

Nice to see him being interviewed by a new face to race fans. He looked relaxed with her and seemed pretty thorough with his answers. Plus a bonus she let the person being interviewed have the time to respond.

Hands down the best interview i've seen with Toto for ................ well i can't remember how long. Who is this girl? Exceptional work Jess. When an interviewee says "Wow, you really know a lot about us", You can sit there and know that you are in that top 1% of journo's who go the extra mile to do their job properly. Entertaining and hugely informative. Sky Sports.........that's how you interview Toto Wolf!!!

The interview is so soo soo good!!

Seems like Lewis left Mercedes at the perfect time

This was a great interview! Great work!

Jess you are a star! Amazing interview. I think Toto was impressed with your research and knowledge and then knocked over by your charm.

Wow one of the best interviews 😮👏🏼

Beautiful interview!

Toto quite candid. Appreciated.

Great interview 👏

A real interview. God it felt good to watch

Very enjoyable interview Toto thank you , best of luck on the next big thing. I'm 75 long-time fan of F 1.

Fantastic interviewer! I loved every second of the questions and answers. No BS. No agenda

Great Interview by Jesse Yates. Nailed it!!

Superb interview!

Very Good Interview and a complete other Toto

Great interview. Don’t know that I’ve seen Toto open up so much before.

Such an honest person, such honesty and integrity 👏👏👏

Nice interview

Awesome interview... Toto was really relaxed and open

Jess had some really good interviews this past week!

This man is a class act. About as down to earth and humble as it gets given his remarkable success. Chapeau, Toto.

It was so weird to be conscious of how good the interview questions were. and then seeing all the comments saying exactly that! what a great interview

So refreshing to see an interview not done by SkyF1. 😎

Jess Yates asks great questions! and very informed.

Great interview Toto is the real thing, on top he is honest

Killer interview 🤍

Very good interviewer. Impressive, intelligent questioning.

Great interview

Very good interview! Bravo

Toto is relaxed because I think after all this time he’s at peace. It is Red Bulls era. Lewis is switching. The pressure to hold the number 1 spot is of course the goal but unrealistic to do forever. It’s Mercs time to rebuild. Him being very humble and open about where the team is at shows this in my eyes.

Look to dimensional changes due to thermal transfer or lack of.

Maybe moving the cockpit? Maybe there was a reason the cockpit sat where it sat for long before this rule set.

I think It'd be interesting to see the Smooth Operator with the silver arrows.

Toto speeks sincerely and the the interviewer is great bring her to f1

Toto is honestly the best. I have a lot of respect for this man. Hopefully him and Lewis can unite under the same banner one last time before Lewis retires from the sport.

I like Toto, speaks openly and honestly

Its possible that Toto chose this interview and the questions ! However great interview and I think we now have a loit of answers ! :)

I wonder if these teams keep their past cars around for the drivers to compare to under the same conditions? Though the regulations have changed is there nothing they could learn by a side by side comparison?

Good interviewer

Remember what Michael said about F1! Car 90 percent driver 10 percent!

Not a toto fan, but this was a great interview.

I didnt know that such hard questions can be asked in such a joyful way :D

All of a sudden Toto is speaking highly of Max 👀 a Wolf move

What I wanted to know, the questions came out, well done girl!

I would think that Toto would be ecstatic! Now perhaps the team will be able to get better positions on the grid!

What an absolutely great guy. ❤

But y post this late?

Change is inevitable and often for the better.

Unfortunately you couldn't provide a decent car for Lewis to drive I truly hope that Lewis shines at Ferrari

It will certainly be good for LH. Yesterday he retired from the race in a lowly position. Whilst the car he will be driving next year, won the race. Another good and timely move. This team has lost all the genius minds that built the success in 2014 and have not replaced them with great quality for me.

Toto doing a Arnold, "Head down"

A humbled Toto is a much better human being.

Very good interview IMO. Only talk about F1 the sport, no dragged out poking Toto about the non-sport circus part👍

Toto needs to keep in mind that going by the current situation and the past three years, it would be hard to hold hopes for the new format.

Interviewer drops her ego and allows toto to speak asking to the point short clear and concise questions and does so with a smile and without trying to trip him up with a trick question, clearly fantastic at her job.

Wonder after the race and Alonso's brake test on George if Toto is still thinking Alonso is a possibility. Maybe a swap with Ferrari and nab Sainz? Or even consider Liam Lawson who showed a lot potential over several races especially the grueling Singapore race.

the best car in three years!!!

I watched this interview live. Plaudits to Jess! Toto was engaging and revealing because of your thorough preparation, the timely questions you asked, the respect you showed, and your passion for the sport. That then brings out the background knowledge you possess. Jess would be far better than any of the sky sports female so called journalists, Natalie Pinkham or Rachel Brooks.... Don't get me started on Naomi Schiff!!!!

Red does suit Lewis Toto, you will miss Lewis, he is not only a fantastic f1 driver but a really lovely guy. 🇬🇧🏎🐐💜❤

Wow, finally an interviewer who dares to ask the important questions! I have the F1 app and subscription for a few years now, but the interviewers on F1TV never ask the difficult questions it's sometimes embarassing! This lady whowever did a great job!

Same accent as Arnold 😮❤

George said the car was fine....

Carlos Sainz Will get the sit for sure

I hope Vettel returns with Mercedes. Has all the experience and knows how to develop a car. Even has good speed if you consider second half of 2022. Like they say you are as good as your last race.

McLaren have their engines are smashing them so far

9:02 funny and interesting: he's effectively saying if Max wants to come, there's a seat for him at Mercedes. Sounds like Max's manager will have a field day negotiating his contract.
