🗣️ 'We've not had a strong day; stopping on track with a reliability issue wasn't great and we have struggled to get the car balanced well across the changing conditions.' Mercedes is holding a late-night investigation into its drop in F1 testing pace:
’ efforts were further hampered by a hydraulic problem that hit Russell late in the afternoon. The issue left him stranded out on track and cut short the team's running.Mercedes has admitted to being left confused about why things turned around so strangely during the second day of action, and said there was some urgency to get answers before the final day begins.
“We've got some investigations going on to understand why this has been such a challenge today when yesterday it was fairly straightforward.“It will be interesting tomorrow to see if we can understand the drop in performance and mitigate the lost track time.”Speaking earlier in the day, Wolff told F1.TV that the W14 had not been behaving as well as the team and drivers would have liked.
Asked if the situation was a concern, Wolff said: “Yeah, it definitely is because it's not the driver who's overdriving the tyres or pushing it, it's the car that doesn't give him enough grip from the rear. So this is something we need to sort out over the course of the journey.”
