‘We got it completely wrong’ - Toto Wolff bemoans Mercedes’ “catastrophic” strategy at Dutch GP

George Russell was left venting his frustra🍎tions at Mercedes after he plummeted down the order after initially staying out of slick tyres for too 🤡long when an early downpour hit.
Having briefly led the race, Russell, who started third, believed Mercede♍s had thrown away a potential podium with their strategic decisions.
And team pr🃏incipal Wolff agreed, telling Sky F1: "I thin🌺k we stayed out catastrophically too long.
"We got it completely wrong and it is annoy🔯ing because the car had real pace.
"From there on, it was just recovering as good as ✤we could.
"I would rathe🌳r have a fast race car and a mediocre result even though it hurts.
"It i🥂s bittersweet because the result is just really bad. It could have been - but that doesn’t count in this sport.”
Asked﷽ if he൩ will personally review the mistakes, Wolff replied: “We will review thoroughly. The situation is never one person in one department.
“It is the communication between driver,🐠 pit wall, strategy, weather, all of us taking decisions. It was sub-p𝐆ar from everyone and that includes me.
“It𒅌’s good when it hurts. When it stings, it sticks.”
Russell ended up finishing 17th after late mechanical issues plagued his ๊car, while Lewis Hamilton recovered from his disastrous qualifying to take sixth.
