Toto Wolff: Ferrari, Mercedes battle has revived my love for Formula One

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says this year's intense battle with Ferrari has helped him "re-discover" his love for Formula One.

Following three years of Mercedes domination between 2014 and 2016, Ferrari has made significant ground on its rivals thanks to a successful transition into F1's new aerodynamic regulations. As a result, Mercedes and Ferrari have been battling it out for wins early on in the year, with Sebastian Vettel leading Lewis Hamilton in the drivers' world championship by just six points after five races.

Reigning world champions Mercedes holds a slender eight point advantage in the constructors' standings, having taken three victories to Ferrari's two.
