Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says “we have to analyse the weekend with the sprint format”, and “look at how we can avoid just a boring race”.
To say the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was a boring race would be an understatement. There was very little overtaking in the race, and Red Bull was once again out of reach for the rest of the field.
Afterwards Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff called for analysis and change.
“There was no overtaking, even with a big pace difference,” the Austrian said.
“It made it not great entertainment. We have to analyse the weekend with the sprint format, whether there’s positives we can take out.

“At the end it all comes down to racing. It needs the tough battles and I think the highlight you could see yesterday was George and Max being able to battle it out and today there was none of that.
“Even if you were within 0.2 seconds it was very difficult to overtake, it was nearly impossible to overtake unless the other driver makes a mistake.
“We need to really look at it and how we can make it better. Not how we can make it better, we need to look at how we can avoid just a boring race.
“I’m not sure that 100m more DRS would have made a difference,” Wolff concluded.
