Mercedes drivers finished fifth and seventh in Bahrain, the team was fourth in speed – leader Toto Wolff on Sky Sport called the final race one of the worst…
Toto Wolff: “This is one of the worst days for us in racing. The car did not have enough speed to fight rivals. Aston Martin’s speed was already visible in testing, and Red Bull on another planet – their advantage reminds me of our best years, so it’s quite painful to watch.
Now they will be a guide for us, we have to go step by step to get back to the lead, but we will definitely do it. I think the steps should be more radical than hoping to gain back two or three tenths by updating the car.
Aston Martin did a great job and achieved a well-deserved result. They also use Mercedes engines, so it’s not about the power plant.”
