After Mercedes got P3 and P4 at Spanish Grand Prix Qualifying, team boss Toto Wolff says “the third and fourths could have been fifths and sixths because we were so close with the Ferraris”.
Taking Mercedes’ previous qualifying results in 2024 into account, P3 and P4 in Spain seems like quite a good result. However, team boss Toto Wolff doesn’t seem to think so.
“It is not great,” the Austrian said after Spanish Grand Prix Qualifying.
“The third and fourths could have been fifths and sixths because we were so close with the Ferraris.
“Three tenths to the leaders, it didn’t look that way yesterday, but maybe we have been too optimistic with yesterday’s performance.

“Overall, it is a solid result but no more than that. The gaps are so tiny. You can see today – it swings in one direction then the other.
“I am glad it went good for [Lewis Hamilton who got P3] today. [Max Verstappen] is beaten by Lando, for us it is three tenths.
“Let’s see how the McLarens go tomorrow, it is good to have one challenger.
“Maybe we can have a good day tomorrow,” Wolff concluded.
