In Baku, George Russell took the podium, while his teammate Lewis Hamilton finished ninth after starting from the pit lane. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff summed up the weekend, adding that there are few circuits left until the end of the season that are suitable for the W15 car.
“We decided to change the engine of Lewis’ car in Azerbaijan,” Racingnews365 quoted Toto Wolff as saying. “We knew that Lewis would suffer in the race because it is difficult to overtake in Baku. And so it happened.
As soon as he approached the opponent in front of him, his tires immediately overheated and he rolled back. But we learned a lot from this race.
Our car has traditionally been fast on the Barcelona, Silverstone and sometimes Spa circuits. Which tracks are suitable for us from the ones that are left? We did well in Austin last year. The circuit in Brazil also suits us, but there are not many of the remaining tracks that suit us.”
