Toto Wolff expressed his disappointment with Mercedes’ performance at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, labeling it as their worst weekend and deeming it “unacceptable.” Last year, Mercedes had a dominant showing in Brazil, winning both the Sprint and the main race with George Russell leading a one-two finish. However, this year, both Russell and Lewis Hamilton struggled with a lack of pace, resulting in Hamilton finishing eighth and Russell retiring. Wolff found the team’s performance baffling and stated that it was their worst weekend in his 13 years with Mercedes. He acknowledged that running the car too high may have been a factor, but there was something fundamentally wrong mechanically. Wolff noted that while performance swings are common in the current generation of cars, Mercedes seemed to have suffered more than their competitors.
