Toto Wolff: "It was a bad day for the drivers"

Perhaps one of the worst races for Mercedes? Lewis Hamilton ended outside of the points, while Valtteri Bottas had a DNF. For once, the Silver Arrows couldn't hack the conditions as they tried to celebrate 125 years of motorsport.

Toto Wolff was clearly disappointed with the performance. In front of the Sky Sports camera, he says "it couldn't have got worse."

"We had a decent start to the race, with good pace but then obviously you add incidents, cars crashing out in tricky conditions, making the wrong calls, and this is where it can all start to go wrong," Wolff said.

Hamilton skidded around on the wet surface. He had to pit for a new nose and the Mercedes pit crew were all over the place trying to decide on which tyre to put on Hamilton's car. Wolff wasn't best pleased with this.

"It was unfortunate because he crashed right at the entry of the box of the pit lane and you're not prepared and we made the wrong calls afterwards." But he was less forgiving to Bottas.

"Many others made the mistake, Leclerc crashed, but overall for us, it was a bad day for the drivers. Simply, it cannot have gone much worse. It shows that you cannot fool around with staff - you should concentrate on the job. We're not superstitious but we believe in karma, and this is a day to learn," Wolff added.
