Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says Mercedes had good pace at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but unfortunately the results didn’t reflect that.
Mercedes had quite an eventful Las Vegas Grand Prix, which included contact between George Russell and Max Verstappen, as well as between Lewis Hamilton and Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz.
After the race, team boss Toto Wolff said the W14 had pace, but they were not able to get the result they wanted.
“Sad to say yet another time we had pace but just no result,” the Ausrian.
“George after the incident with Verstappen when he got a penalty, that was pretty much game over. Also, he had pace at the front, maybe not Max, but it is what it is.

“We have seen pace-ish today. I think we can hopefully recover and score solid podiums [in Abu Dhabi].”
Toto also praised the inaugural Las Vegas event.
“I wouldn’t change a lot. I would change qualifying maybe from midnight to 10pm, like the race start. So you can still have the roads open long at Vegas and have dinner for the fans.
“Other than that, it was a perfect event,” he concluded.
