Toto Wolff's drivers of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton were not able to move forward in the sprint race on Saturday, the drivers finished P4 and P8 respectively far from the race pace shown last week in Silverstone.
Disappointing Saturday for Mercedes
In a post-sprint race interview with Ted Kravitz at Sky Sports, Toto Wolff was asked about the battle between his driver Hamilton and Mick Schumacher. "He (Schumacher) needs to fight for the position and they (HAAS) have the advantage because we are so draggy and also a bit of performance here"
"We are just lacking pace here. Contrary to what we had in the previous races where we were really good on Sunday, here somehow it didn't go" continued the Austrian as his teams struggled to recreate the race pace they showed last week at Silverstone.
