Wolff jokes about problems at Mercedes: 'Must always see the positives'

Things are not going smoothly at Mercedes yet, as the team is dealing with multiple problems during the Bahrain Grand Prix. Toto Wolff tries to stay positive and goes on to discuss the fuss surrounding the mirrors of the W13.

"We are living the dream, working in F1 globetrotting! Joking aside, you always need to see the positives even in a situation that looks worse than you expected but we've been there before", the Mercedes team boss tells Sky Sports.

During the second free practice session on Friday, Lewis Hamilton experienced DRS problems, which caused him to lose time on the straight. That has now fortunately been resolved. "It happened yesterday, the DRS wouldn't open for the main straight. We run it now and it's okay."

There was already a fuss around Mercedes' mirrors during the test days, as the team came up with an interesting design with vertical fins. The FIA confirmed that the design is legal. "It's legitimate to ask the FIA, they've been part of the process all along. We wouldn't have gone into innovation if the FIA didn't sign it off, so business as usual", Wolff ends.
