Mercedes barely scored any points in Singapore, so they were well behind Ferrari, who scored a double podium, in the constructors’ standings. Toto Wolff explained why it was really frustrating for them.
After struggling early in the season, Mercedes, who is clearly in the lead, are already within walking distance of Ferrari in the race for second place in the World Constructors’ Championship at the last Grand Prix, arriving in Singapore with the circuit. Being one of them suits them the most. During the training sessions this seemed to be the case, Lewis Hamilton was only hundreds behind on pole position, but in the rainy race the seven-time world champion ended up only ninth, while George Russell couldn’t even score a starting point. Point starting from the end of the network. Meanwhile, Ferrari managed to celebrate a double podium, so it lost in the overall standings – according to Mercedes chief Toto Wolff, getting the World Cup silver became more difficult:
“This season has taught us a lot of hard lessons and Sunday was another,” Wolff told Formula1.com. “We started at opposite ends of the grid with our two cars, but neither of them could capitalize on the pace of the car in terms of the bottom line. The biggest disappointment was that we weren’t able to build on the signs of competitive performance seen in second free practice and qualify. Our battle for second place became even more difficult with the This result, but the only thing we can do is pull ourselves together and put all our energy into the next race at Suzuka to regain our momentum.”
The team leader also analyzed the race of Hamilton, who made an unusual mistake: “Lewis fought for the podium for most of the race, but at the same time he struggled with the balance of the car, which danced on a knife edge due to difficult conditions and heavy asphalt. Having curbed himself and damaged his wing, The pit stopped in place. Then, he lost even more when several people stopped and jumped in front of him during the safety car stage. So he ended up on a train that was running on tires of the same age, so he couldn’t catch up.”
Wolff also said they had no regrets about Russell putting on the slick tires of the mid-range early on: “George and I risked tires when he drove out of the scoring area. Looking back, it was clearly too early, but we didn’t have What we lose, so we were willing to take the risk. However, he was on his way back to the points as the race progressed until he collided with Schumacher, which finally made him.”
