Rosberg: Mercedes’ struggles are ‘unbelievable’

Continuing their poor qualifying streak, Mercedes’ problems were labelled as ‘unbelievable’ by former F1 champion Nico Rosberg.

In the wet conditions around Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, both Mercedes’ drivers had to deal with the same underlying problem they have been facing in the past few races, porpoising.

The team also struggled to get heat into their tyres, a problem that Andy Shovlin believes has a major impact on their pace in short runs such as qualifying.

As such George Russell finished down in 11th place with Lewis Hamilton P13, the latter only scrapping into Q2 by 0.004s.

Hamilton did however sing the praises of the mechanics who have been working overtime in an attempt to find a remedy for the team’s severe porpoising issues.
