For the first time in eight years, Mercedes are having to watch the F1 title battle unfold without much hope of winning it themselves.
While Verstappen went on to win comfortably in the end, the two Mercedes drivers claimed the rest of the podium – and on merit. Strategy error on Leclerc’s side of the garage or not, neither Sergio Perez nor Carlos Sainz were able to get ahead of the two Mercedes.
Mercedes continue to stand alone on the concept, which Wolff claims simulations show promises huge potential on track. The problem has been getting that potential to translate from simulations to the real world. “I don’t think changing car concept will make us go any faster, maybe the contrary to be honest. Sometimes you just have to stick to the process and keep pushing. And that’s difficult to do when you’re off the pace and things don’t seem to be going your way.
“I think at the start of the season we were finishing races a minute behind first position. The last two races we’ve been within 10 seconds, so I think it’s definitely going in the right direction.”
