P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Twelve months on from the contrasting scene of their last F1 victory, Mercedes endured a truly wretched Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Mercedes had high hopes for the Brazilian Grand Prix, but it turned out to be a disappointing and frustrating weekend for them. Despite their strong performances in recent races, they struggled with pace and tyre wear in both the sprint race and the grand prix. Lewis Hamilton finished eighth, while George Russell had to retire due to a cooling issue. This raises the possibility of Mercedes going winless for the first time since 2011. There were suspicions that a faulty upgraded floor and conservative ride height could be contributing factors, but the team is still searching for a clear explanation for their poor performance.
