Wolff lamented the missed opportunity for both Mercedes cars to compete at the front of the grid, noting that the team’s pace had been strong throughout the weekend. He emphasized that the session’s outcome was a combination of factors, including potentially being too close to Lando Norris on track.
However, the main concern for Wolff was the impeding incident involving Tsunoda during Hamilton’s quickest lap. He described the incident as a “disaster” for the team, as it prevented Hamilton from having a clear and unhindered flying lap at the end of the session.
