Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff believes his team will struggle to make good use of its long-run pace after being out-qualified by Ferrari.
Lewis Hamilton will start the Canadian Grand Prix in between the two Ferraris while Valtteri Bottas will line up sixth after making mistakes on both his runs in Q3.
“That hurts a lot,” Toto Wolff admitted when asked about Bottas, who was out-qualified by Daniel Ricciardo’s Renault and Pierre Gasly’s Red Bull.
Toto Wolff: “Our long runs look very good, yes.”
Toto Wolff: “But I’m hopeful for the race, that our long runs give us a certain benefit that we need to extract.”
