Toto Wolff believes the United States Grand Prix was the best race of the 2023 F1 season for Mercedes, despite Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification.
Hamilton finished second in the race at the Circuit of the Americas in October, but he was later disqualified for excessive wear on his car. This embarrassing incident left the Mercedes team disappointed. However, Mercedes’ technical director James Allison acknowledged that the team’s performance was impressive. Despite the disqualification, the race in Austin was considered Mercedes’ best of the 2023 season due to the successful upgrade package and the strong performance of the car. On the other hand, the lowest point of the season for Mercedes was the race in Brazil, where they had dominated the previous year but struggled in 2023. In contrast, a proud moment for the team was finishing in second place in Abu Dhabi, which was emotionally significant for Mercedes.
