Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says the team has been less competitive than expected at the Hockenheimring, despite Lewis Hamilton taking pole position.
Ferrari were consistently the fastest test throughout practice, but both its cars were struck down by technical problems in qualifying.
“We were expecting to be much more competitive this weekend,” said Toto Wolff.
Toto Wolff: “We put a very solid upgrade package onto the car.”
“Fundamentally we are not happy with our own performance and [it] could have looked much different if Ferrari would have finished the qualifying,” said Toto Wolff.
Toto Wolff: “It’s not understood [yet].”
