Mercedes boss Wolff demands ‘stronger performance’ in Mexico

Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff expressed disappointment after a challenging US Grand Prix in Austin, urging his team to deliver a stronger performance in Mexico. Despite believing the car had podium pace, George Russell finished sixth after losing positions at the start, while Andrea Kimi Antonelli's race was compromised by an early spin involving Carlos Sainz, leading to a 13th-place finish. Wolff noted the difficulty of overtaking due to small pace differences and tyre management. The outcome saw Mercedes' lead over Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship shrink to just seven points, highlighting the need for a significant rebound.
