Wolff calls Mercedes’ Sepang race “one of my worst experiences” | Formula 1Toto Wolff, the team principal of Mercedes, described the team's performance at the Sepang race as one of his worst experiences.

Max Verstappen secured victory after starting from pole position, while Andrea Kimi Antonelli finished second, extending his lead in the championship.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff 'massively annoyed': 'It can't continue'Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff was visibly frustrated following the Bahrain Grand Prix, where George Russell faced his third retirement of the season due to a suspected power unit failure. Wolff described the experience as one of his worst, highlighting the team's lack of speed and the unfortunate timing of Russell's DNF just five laps from the finish, which he believes could severely affect their championship standings. Despite Kimi Antonelli securing second place behind Max Verstappen, Wolff's focus remained on the implications of Russell's retirement. He emphasised the need for improvement, stating that the current trend of DNFs is detrimental to both Russell's title aspirations and Mercedes' constructors' points. Wolff's comments reflect a sense of urgency for the team to address their reliability issues as they head into the remaining races of the season.
