Former world champions perform terribly at Brazilian GP‘This proves we need a different car’ says team principal Wolff
Toto Wolff has said Mercedes’ worst performance on his watch as team principal proves the team must make wholesale design changes for next season.
Lewis Hamilton finished eighth at Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix, more than a minute behind race winner Max Verstappen, while George Russell retired with an engine failure while running in 11th. Far from being any closer to Verstappen’s all-conquering Red Bull, Mercedes were slower than McLaren, Aston Martin, Ferrari and the mid-table Alpine team in São Paulo, with Pierre Gasly embarrassing the former world champions by batting Hamilton and Russell aside.
