“They have complex issues with the car. I can’t believe it, but it looks like Mercedes have already given up on the title fight.”
But the facts speak for themselves: at Imola, for the first time in 10 years, none of their drivers could qualify for the third qualifying segment. It is obvious that with their car it is not at all one, but a whole panoply of problems.
Already after lap 41, Hamilton was one lap behind Verstappen, and that’s a clear indicator of the struggles they have today. I think Mercedes understands the cause of all the problems, but right now they are wasting valuable time. With the current Formula 1 calendar, in which races follow one another, there is hardly any time to correct mistakes,” reports Racingnews365 in Hakkinen’s words.
