Athletistic/ Formula 1. “Mercedes” executive director Toto Wolff assessed the team’s chances in the upcoming race and summed up the sprint.

“Getting into the points is a minimal task, but it doesn’t meet our expectations. You could say that we spent the whole weekend in consumption. Do not expect miracles in the race, it is difficult to overtake. We keep learning, but it’s another humbling experience,” Wolff said.

In the sprint race, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton finished 11th and 14th respectively. After the race, Hamilton said Mercedes were not in contention for the title this season.
