via Motorsport.comToto Wolff delivers brutal verdict on F1’s overtaking after Russell’s Singapore nightmareToto Wolff, the team principal of Mercedes, expressed his frustration with the overtaking difficulties experienced during the Singapore Grand Prix. He stated that even a car that is significantly slower cannot be overtaken due to the aerodynamic penalties caused by dirty air on the tight street circuit. George Russell, who started from the back due to a 60-place grid penalty, struggled to make significant progress despite executing some early overtakes, ultimately finishing outside the points.
On a more positive note for Mercedes, Andrea Kimi Antonelli secured a podium finish, validating the effectiveness of the team's recent aerodynamic upgrades. Wolff highlighted that the upgrades had finally shown their potential, and he was pleased with Antonelli's performance. As the team prepares for the upcoming United States Grand Prix, they are optimistic about their prospects for the remainder of the season.
