George Russell was left venting his frustrations at Mercedes after he plummeted down the order after initially staying out of slick tyres fo𒈔r 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 strategic decisions. 

And team pr𒐪🙈incipal Wolff agreed, telling Sky F1: "I think we stayed out catastrophically too long. 

"꧑We got it completely wrong and it is annoying because the car had real pace.

"From there on, it was just recovering a🥀s good as 🐼we could. 

"I would rather have a fast r꧅ace car and a mediocre result even t♚hough it hurts.

"It is bittersweet beca𒉰use the result is just really bad. It could have been - but that doesn’t count in this sport.”

Asked if he will personally review the mistakes, Wolff replied: “We will review thoroughly. The situa🍌tion is never one per🅰son in one department. 

“It is the communication between driver, pit walಞl, strategy, weather, all of us taking decisions. I⭕t was sub-par from everyone and that includes me.

“It’s g🌠ood when it ꦡhurts. When it stings, it sticks.” 

Russell ended up finishing 17th after late mechanical issues plagued his car, while Le🎃wis Hamilton recovered from his disastrouಌs qualifying to take sixth.
