Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff is not happy with the results of the Sprint Shootout of his drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. The two drivers were already getting in each other's way and neither really got to a great finishing position. Hamilton will start the sprint race from P7 and Russell from P10.
Wolff sees Hamilton and Russell hindering each other
"Everyone was in each other's way and then George was also in Lewis' way. He went slower again. All in all, it was very annoying," is Wolff quoted by Motorsport-Total.com. "I don't know how overtaking will go. We definitely have a fast car. But whether it will be enough to get much ahead, I don't know," Mercedes' Austrian continued.
During qualifying for Sunday's race, Russell and Hamilton got in each other's way, and this was repeated during qualifying for the sprint race. Also because of the weather conditions, Russell and Hamilton's starting positions do not seem ideal for in the sprint race, but perhaps they can still attack there. Time will tell.
