George Russell and Lewis Hamilton qualified fifth and seventh, respectively, for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Toto Wolff blamed Alex Albon for the disappointing Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying session for Mercedes. George Russell topped third practice but only qualified in fifth, ahead of Lewis Hamilton. Wolff was frustrated and attributed the cooler tyre temperatures to Albon’s pit lane stop. Despite the setback, Wolff still believes a podium finish is possible for Mercedes due to their speed on the main straight. However, he also acknowledged that their straight-line speed could pose challenges during the race. Wolff emphasized that everything needs to come together for a podium finish in Baku.
