P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The Mercedes boss was not happy with the performance in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, likening the development made throughout the year to ‘sticking plasters’ on the car. He also once again raised the spectres of McLaren and Aston Martin.
According to Toto Wolff, Mercedes has had no choice but to use the development of the W14 as a temporary solution to address their struggles against their competitors. The team’s performance in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix was disappointing, with high tyre wear and slow straight-line speed leading to a difficult weekend. Wolff described it as the worst in his 13 years in Formula 1. While other teams like Aston Martin and McLaren have been able to improve their performance, Mercedes has struggled to do the same. Wolff finds this unacceptable and baffling, considering their strong performance in previous races. He believes that the development of the car has been more of a band-aid fix rather than a proper solution. The car’s unpredictability has posed challenges, with the potential to be significantly off the pace.
