Toto Wolff was not happy after the dramatic Monaco Grand Prix. The team took home only seven points. Lewis Hamilton did manage to set the fastest lap, but Valtteri Bottas' retirement was dramatic after he stayed in P2 for so long.

First analyse, then look ahead

"Tomorrow we will put our finger on the sore spot. In the toughest sense of the word," Wolff opened at ServusTV. "We have to analyse exactly what happened there [with Bottas]. And then we have to analyse why Hamilton missed the pace. Only then will we look at Baku."

"The whole weekend was no fun. Monaco has never been a good place for us and this weekend proved it again," the Mercedes team boss continued. The only thing that seemed to succeed for Mercedes this weekend was getting the fastest lap with Hamilton.

Bizarre situation at Bottas' pitstop

Wolff briefly comments on Bottas' pit stop: "I've never seen a car where you couldn't get the wheel off. Even now it hasn't come off. We need some kind of metal scissors."
