Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff disconsolate after grim day for Mercedes in Bahrain - 'One of our worst days'
Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff cut disconsolate figures after a grim day for Mercedes at the Bahrain GP that showcased their lack of competitiveness on the F1 grid. After a difficult 2022 in which Mercedes struggled badly with a bouncing car, hopes had been high for something of a rebirth as the teams assembled in the Gulf. Ad But the early noises were not all that promising, and those fears seemed well-founded on race day as Hamilton finished fifth, while team-mate George Russell trailed in seventh, some distance behind race winner, Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who looks set to dominate the sport again in 2023.
