Legendary F1 commentator Martin Brundle has admitted it was “painful to watch” Mercedes struggle at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Mercedes had a difficult race at Interlagos, with Lewis Hamilton finishing eighth and George Russell forced to retire due to an engine issue. The team struggled with high tyre degradation and a lack of rear grip throughout the weekend. Hamilton even got overtaken by Pierre Gasly’s Alpine. In his post-race analysis, Martin Brundle described Mercedes’ performance as poor and painful to watch. He was impressed by Sergio Perez’s rejuvenated talents and his battle with Fernando Alonso for the final podium spot. The racing was intense and filled with dramatic defensive moves, but both drivers showed respect for each other’s racing room.
