Mercedes is dissatisfied with the results of Friday’s practice – it was not possible to achieve efficient tire operation …
Toto Wolff: “We are not happy. As you can see, nine seconds separate first and last place. It proved very difficult to achieve efficient tire operation in cold conditions. It seems that only Ferrari has succeeded in this, the rest are far behind.
Lewis and George say the car doesn’t hold the track at all. It’s not about the car, it’s not about the driver, it’s just about the tires. If someone manages to make a breakthrough and achieve the desired attachment, he has an immediate advantage.
When you see that your car is five seconds behind the leader, you want to kill yourself. But I like this challenge, every failure makes it possible to draw conclusions to achieve more in the future.
We need to be able to warm up these tires, find the settings that allow us to put them to use. We hope our boys can handle it. We have done that many times in the past.”
