Toto Wolff believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton would have likely beaten 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell had the latter not made a second pit stop at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix hence why the te﷽a🥃m opted against team orders at the end of the race.

Russell was the only driver inside the top 10 t🐈o complete the race o𒀰n a two-stop strategy.

As a result, Russell dropped behind Hamilton on tra🌠ck as Mercedes switched their drivers.

When pitting, Russell inquired whe🦹the💫r Mercedes would tell Hamilton to give P6 back at the end of the race given that the former had run ahead for the majority of it.

However, Hamilton and Russell maintained their p𝐆ositions of sixth and sevent🍎h.

Explaining the situation at the end of the race, Wolff sa𝓡id that Russell’s second pitꦍ stop was a “safety call”.

“We haven’t spoken,” Wolff said. “His lap times were getting slower and slower. Our forecast, at the time, said he wouldn’t make it to the end.𒁏 “We didn’t want to lose the position to Perez. So that was the call.

“The forecast was t👍hree or four laps short, to make it.”

If Russell hadn’t made a second stop, Wওolff feels that Hamilton would have beaten him anyway.

“Lewis would have probably taken hi🅘m, anyway,” he added𒐪.

“The point is, we are raciꦯng for P6 and P7. We, at least, wanted♓ to keep the Red Bull behind. It was a safety call.”

Mercedes’ dඣisappointing𓆉 start to the 2024 season continued at Imola.

It means Merced🌊es haven’t finished on the podium in any of the opening seven rounds - the first time this has happened since 2011.

While Mercedes are bringing upgrades to their car, their overall competitiveness h🐻as remained similar.

“We aไre making s🦂teps in where we want the car to be,” Wolff added.

“We are 30s off theꦬ quickest guys. That is a lot. P6 and P7 is nothing to be proud of. You can hear the frustration in my voice.

“There is more to c♔ome. It’s incremental gains, marginal gains, that we need to makeꦚ. That’s how the sport goes."
