If the Bahrain Grand Prix was not a resounding success for the Silver Arrows, it is far from being as catastrophic as it was for Red Bull. Mercedes still managed to secure a podium with Lewis Hamilton in third place, and George Russell took fourth place thanks to Red Bull’s double retirement in the last two laps of the race.<\/p>\n
Toto Wolff, team principal of Mercedes, spoke about this result. If we had finished third and fourth here last year, it would have been really frustrating, he said. But this year, we fought against stronger opponents. With the Red Bulls out of the race, it’s a fantastic result, Wolff delivered.<\/p>\n
However, Toto Wolff remains skeptical about Mercedes’ chances for a championship. If you look at the standings in Bahrain, we have a very small chance of qualifying for one of the championships,” admitted the Austrian.<\/p>\n
