In qualifying at the French circuit Paul Ricard, Mercedes drivers showed 4th and 6th results, while Lewis Hamilton was able to get ahead of George Russell. Sports director Toto Wolff commented on Saturday’s results.
Toto Wolff: “I think we knew that if we put new tires on the cars and we go really fast, we will be the third fastest, as we have been since the start of the season. It’s just not good enough.
As you can see, if you’re a little behind all weekend and at the same time have certain expectations, and then something goes wrong, then events can develop according to any scenario.
We’ve mostly experimented with the rear wing settings, with tire temperatures, but our car just isn’t fast enough overall, and today we could see it. But it should be noted the excellent work of Lewis, who probably managed to squeeze more out of the car than he can give.
