Formula 1: Mercedes' Toto Wolff says 2018 was 'most challenging season'
Last updated on .From the section Formula 1

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said 2018 was his team's "most challenging season" after picking up a fifth consecutive Formula 1 constructors' championship trophy.
Briton Lewis Hamilton was also awarded his fifth drivers' championship trophy at a gala in St Petersburg, Russia, staged by governing body the FIA.
"We all had to raise our game, each and every member of our team," Wolff said.
"Winning both titles is a testament to the incredibly hard work of the team."
Mercedes won 11 of the 21 races in a season that also included 13 pole positions and 26 podium finishes, while Hamilton became the joint second most successful driver of all time.
Hamilton joined Argentine legend Juan Manuel Fangio on five championship wins, behind Michael Schumacher who won seven titles.
But Hamilton - and Mercedes - had to fend off a strong challenge from Ferrari, with Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen eventually finishing second and third in the drivers' championship.
"I feel honoured to receive this trophy on behalf of everyone in Brixworth, Brackley and Stuttgart who helped to win these championships," Wolff added.
Elsewhere, Britain's George Russell was awarded the FIA Formula 2 drivers' championship trophy after securing the title in Abu Dhabi in late November, while Germany's Mick Schumacher was awarded the Formula 3 European drivers' championship trophy.

PPV = Bye-Bye F1
Liberty may think they have it right but if the lose 2 European circuits in their greed quest it will be another Satellite sport drifting into obscurity, street circuit racing is not the answer either.
BBC please move the Sport F1 tab into "Other Sports"
Hoping MV grows up this season. I'm still finding it impossible to like him. Dummy spitter if ever I've seen one.

"I'd dare say that Red Bull, more than the other top teams, had the 'most challenging season' as they had to deal with the underpowered Renault"
RBR were happy to take the credit when winning 4 on the trot, (from team manager to Max) denigrated Renault when things got rough and STILL had first option on the latest Renault tech.
Hope Honda know what they're going to deal with...
Excellent man management of LH back to the focused driver who was there in 2007-8 and before. VB unlucky but also the weakest link.
2. Will see you all at Monza next year. I'll have the crying baby LH picture with the crown on his head and a baby rattle made out of a Ferrari.
3. Mercedes has paid LH a lot of money. Petronas has paid a lot of money as title sponsor. Lewis is under paid!!!
...... Would love to see Ferarri and RB make a decent challenge next season and would happily see LH and Mercedes concede the championship if it’s a good “fight” let’s see if they can rescue F1!

Not while F1 hides behind a paywall.
Unlike football, which is tribal, F1 depends on picking up new fans from casual viewers who luck into it while channel surfing the (FTA) telly.
