It seems like the upgraded floor may have been a factor in Mercedes’ drop in performance at the Dutch Grand Prix. Toto Wolff acknowledged that the team needs to analyze the data and figure out what went wrong. With just a few days until the Italian Grand Prix, Mercedes has a lot of work to do to get back on track. The limited running due to bad weather also made it challenging for the team to assess the impact of the new floor. Hopefully, they can identify the issues and bounce back in Monza. It’s a tough situation, but Mercedes will surely be working hard to find a solution.
I think we had a really good race pace. I could have been on the podium from George’s position, but it was a long way back from where I started. We can take a lot of positives from today and move forward.”
