The Mercedes Team Principal heaped praise on Lewis Hamilton as he claimed second place in the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff praised the “brave” strategy that helped Lewis Hamilton secure second place in the Mexico City Grand Prix. Hamilton recovered from his disqualification in the United States and climbed from sixth on the grid to finish second. He overtook several drivers, including Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz, and Charles Leclerc, after a red flag restart caused by Sergio Perez’s crash. The team had to choose between the Hard C3 tires and the Medium tires, and they opted for the latter since the Hard tires were older than their competitors. Wolff described the strategy as courageous and it paid off. Wolff also mentioned that they need to analyze why Hamilton’s teammate, George Russell, was slower despite being on the same strategy, speculating that it might be due to backing off and the tire’s drop in performance.
