‘We got it completely wrong’ - Toto Wolff bemoans Mercedes’ “catastrophic” strategy at Dutch GP

George Russell was left venti🍎ng his frustrations at Mercedes after he plummeted down the order after initially staying out of slick tyres for too long when an early downpour hit.
Having briefly led the race, Russell, who started third, believed Mercedes had thrown away♋ a potential podium with their str💧ategic decisions.
And team principal Wolff agreed, telling Sk🅘y F1: "I think we stayed out catastr🌠ophically too long.
"We got it completely wrong and it is ann𝔉oying because the car had real pace.
"From there on, it was j☂ust recovering as good as we could.♍
"I would rather have a fast race car and a mediocre result even though it 𒈔hurts.
"It is bittersweet because the resul🌜t is just really bad. It could have been - but that doesn’t count in this sport🌌.”
Asked if he will pe🌼rsonally review the mistakes, Wolff replied: “We will review thoroughly. The situation is never one person in one department.
“It is the communication between driver, pit wall, strategy, weather, all of us taking decisions. It wa🍌s sub-par from everyone and that includes me.
“It’s good when it hurts🔯. When it stings, it sticks.”
Russell ended up finishing 17th꧃ after late mechanical issues plagued his car, while Lewis Hamilton recovered from his disastrous qualifying to take sixth.
