After Mercedes qualified in P4 and P12 for the Dutch Grand Prix, team boss Toto Wolff says “looking at the previous sessions we were pretty much always among the top three”.
George Russell qualified for the Dutch Grand Prix in P4, while Lewis Hamilton got eliminated in Q2 and qualified in only P12.
After the session, team boss Toto Wolff said Mercedes expected much more.
“We were hoping for better than 12th for Lewis and fourth for George Russell in the other car,” the Austrian said.
“Looking at the previous sessions we were pretty much always among the top three. And then, we just had a car that was on a knife-edge.

“It was very difficult to nurture through the lap. Lots of understeer, snap oversteer and the moment you go over those temperature thresholds, you have no performance anymore.
“That’s why we had this freakish moment where Lewis just fell out in Q2. Also P4 from George, I think he’s probably done the maximum.
“But we are not happy with that performance,” Wolff concluded.
