Toto Wolff refused to gloat after Mercedes’ championship rival Max Verstappen made a key mistake on the last corner of Q3 in Saudi Arabia. “Red Bull has put a dominant package on the track here,” the Mercedes boss said after Dutchman Verstappen missed the front row of the grid due to striking the wall. Worse still for Verstappen is that Red Bull is now scrambling to check if his gearbox was damaged in the incident – with a new one potentially costing him a grid penalty. Even if overtaking on this track is not easy, we will still do it.”.
