Toto Wolff says Mercedes wanted to take risks in their attempts to win the DutchGP, rather than simply settling for a safe result, as he explained the strategy that left Lewis Hamilton fuming F1
following the team’s decision to leave him out on medium tyres during a late Safety Car while Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and teammate George Russell both pitted for softs.
"I don’t think that on a par with the same tyre we could have overtaken the Red Bull with the straight line speed. We’ve seen that with Sainz that we aren’t really able to pass him at the beginning, so that was the call. Wolff was questioned as to why Mercedes chose to pit Russell and effectively remove a blocker to Verstappen for Hamilton.“We just split the strategy,” Wolff explained. “If we would have left both out on the same tyre we would have had the blocker and the two cars in the front.
Wolff said he had no issue with Hamilton venting his frustration at the team, particularly given how difficult this season has been for Mercedes.
