Mercedes boss Toto Wolff praised his team’s performance in Spain. Immediately after the finish, Toto stated that Lewis Hamilton could have been battling for victory on lap one if he hadn’t had a collision with Kevin Magnussen. However, not all rivals agree with Mercedes’ high rating of speed.
Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto believes Mercedes is still too far behind to fight for first place. According to Binotto, Mercedes is now in the same position as the Scuderia last year.
Mattia Binotto: “I congratulate Mercedes, because they were really able to improve and add to their car. In the single lap qualifying, however, they were seven tenths behind on a fairly short lap.
In the race they lost more than thirty seconds to Red Bull. When Charles finished, he would be 40 seconds behind. Losing forty seconds in sixty-six rounds is equivalent to losing seven-tenths per round, and this is a significant backlog. Like Ferrari last year.”
