🗣“Today I have just heard is world toilet day, so I think that was one to put in the toilet.” Toto Wolff's reaction after his Mercedes squad slumped to the third row of the grid in F1 qualifying at the AbuDhabiGP. ⬇️
Hamilton took fifth place on the grid, finishing three-thousandths of a second ahead of Russell in sixth as the Yas Marina Circuit layout hit the weaknesses of the Mercedes W13 car.
Wolff explained that Mercedes “didn’t get the job done” up against Ferrari, who locked out the second row of the grid with a buffer of more than two-tenths of a second. But Wolff said that Abu Dhabi was always expected to be a difficult track for Mercedes given the characteristics of the car, and that its success at Interlagos was never likely to translate into another good result.
