Toto Wolff stands by Mercedes' strategy gamble: ‘Every day of the week I’d do it again’

Running in second and fourth, Mercedes pit 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton under the Virtual Safety Car for new mediums.
At the time, Russell couldn’t pass 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz in front, who was deliberately backin🤪g off to stop Mercedes from reverting to a two-stop straꦛtegy.
Mercedes’ call to pit their drivers under𝔉 the VSC looked like it was going to be a masterstroke as Russell and Ham🍃ilton reeled the top three in.
Russell’s charge was halted by🌞 Sainz’s clever tactic to give Norris DRS - ensuring the Mercedes drivers couldn’t get past.
“We tried to win and we didn't,” Wolff said after the race. “The positives are that I love the call from driver and strategy team to say, 'We'r🥃e going for it'.
“Worst case was second and fifth. Best cꦍase, we win or first and second. And our plan showed that at tꦛimes.
“I think it was💙 the absolute right call, we would have finishe🎃d P2, P5 - maybe P2, P4, and we wanted to win the race.
“So, we took the risk andꦏ I would every day of the week do it again."

Even though Mercedes weren’t able to win, Wol⛦ff is taking plenty of poဣsitives from the weekend.
“Overall, I'm happy about the performance,” he added. “I'm happy about how the♔ car was all weekend, and I think we gave it our best shot.
“I✤ think this is the positive… we've been really strong here, we could have won the race.
“We could have finished first and second on merit and that is what we need to take from here♋ and clearly will energise us even more tha🀅t, on this particular track, we were strong.
“Not everything is wrong. But then you see on the planner, P1🔜 and P2 popping up at times and you think about 'Could have been an unbelievable day' and it's not.
“But I'd rather then fall back on the posit𝔉ives of this weekend and go back home and say 'that was a good one'.”
