Toto Wolff says Mercedes will review their
'catastrophic' decisions in the wet and wild opening laps of Sunday's Dutch GP that the team suspect cost them a much stronger result with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell on Sunday. Hamilton and Russell were among only a handful of drivers not to be pitted in the race's opening two laps as rain started to fall around Zandvoort with increasing but unexpected ferocity.
'We got it completely wrong and it is annoying because the car had real pace. From there on, it was just recovering as good as we could,' said Wolff. 'I would rather have a fast race car and a mediocre result even if it hurts. We saw at the end on the intermediates, George had Max's pace and Lewis was very strong behind Sainz. He could have been much further ahead.'But it is bittersweet because the result is just really bad.
