P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Sky F1’s Karun Chandhok has identified a major “worry” for Mercedes heading into the 2024 season after their dreadful performance at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Mercedes had a terrible performance at Interlagos, with Lewis Hamilton finishing eighth and George Russell retiring. Toto Wolff described the team’s performance as “inexcusable” and “miserable”. Commentators were puzzled by the sudden drop-off after positive results in previous races. They noted that Mercedes lacks a clear understanding of the reasons behind their highs and lows. In contrast, McLaren has shown consistent improvement throughout the season. The one-hour practice session in the sprint format may have affected Mercedes, but there are also questions about whether they will stick with their current concept or go back to the drawing board. Overall, the team is left confused by their disappointing showing.
