Toto Wolff felt Mercedes 'would've been racing for a podium' but endured 'an atrocious first stint' that undid its pace in the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix.
At the restart after the first-lap red flag caused by the crash between Alex Albon and Daniel Ricciardo, Mercedes swapped George Russell and Lewis Hamilton from medium tyres to the hard compound in a strategy switch that targeted a one-stop plan.

Hamilton suspected even with a different strategy Mercedes would have suffered because it still needed to run two hard tyre stints across the race due to its pre-race selections.

However, Mercedes have confirmed that the Austrian will now be present at the fourth round of the campaign, from which every session is live on Sky Sports F1. Wolff's change of schedule comes after a hugely disappointing start to the season for the Silver Arrows.
