Fernando Alonso menyalip pasangan Mercedes George Russell dan Lewis Hamilton sebelum melewati Carlos Sainz dari Ferrari untuk finis ketiga di Grand Prix Bahrain.
Bos Mercedes Toto Wolff mengatakan timnya yang berkinerja buruk akan mengambil “inspirasi” dari perputaran Formula 1 Aston Martin yang luar biasa, tetapi mengakui “terlalu dini” untuk membahas masa depan Lewis Hamilton.
Mercedes memastikan salah satu “hari terburuk dalam balapan” Wolff di pembukaan musim GP Bahrain saat Hamilton dan George Russell – yang finis kelima dan ketujuh – disusul oleh Fernando Alonso dengan cepat Aston Martin.
Wolff, saat menyelidiki masalah Mercedes dan memikirkan pendekatan pengembangan baru, mengakui bahwa perpindahan Aston Martin dari tim tercepat ketujuh F1 ke penantang utama Red Bull adalah sesuatu yang perlu diperhatikan.
“Ketika Anda melihat di mana kami berada di akhir musim, sepertinya kami banyak mengejar,” kata Wolff pada Minggu malam. Tapi saya pikir itu hanya masalah sirkuit mana yang cocok untuk kami dan mana yang tidak.
Toto Wolff mengatakan tim mengalami salah satu ‘hari terburuk dalam balapan’ setelah Mercedes finis kelima dan ketujuh di Grand Prix Bahrain.
“Saya pikir kami hampir menggandakan jika tidak melipatgandakan jarak dengan Red Bull dan inilah yang perlu kami lihat, semua yang ada di antaranya – Ferrari – itu hanya tontonan.
“Dan setelah mengatakan itu, apa yang Aston Martin dapat capai adalah inspirasi yang baik karena mereka bangkit dari kecepatan dua detik menjadi tim tercepat kedua mungkin di jalan.
“Dan dengan kami, semuanya buruk.”
Fernando Alonso menganalisis performa balapannya yang membuat pembalap Aston Martin itu mendapatkan podium pertamanya musim ini.
Wolff, yang komentarnya mengikuti pada Sabtu malam ketika dia mengatakan Mercedes harus mengubah konsep agar kompetitif, menambahkan: “Kami telah kehilangan satu tahun dalam pengembangan untuk memiliki kurva pengembangan yang lebih curam dan Anda hanya perlu mengambil keputusan ini.
Seperti yang saya katakan sebelumnya, Aston Martin mengambil keputusan itu, dan mereka kembali kuat.
“Jadi jika kami memulai dari basis kami, mungkin kami bisa kembali kuat dan mengejar Red Bulls. Itulah ambisinya.”
Wolff yakin dengan hubungan Mercedes-Hamilton
Wolff juga membahas masa depan Hamilton dalam pengarahannya, yang telah dipertanyakan mengingat juara dunia tujuh kali, 38, itu dalam satu tahun kontrak dan tampaknya tidak akan mendapatkan mobil yang kompetitif dalam waktu dekat.
Hamilton, bagaimanapun, memberi timnya pesan inspirasional di radio tim setelah balapan, dengan mengatakan: “Kerja bagus, saya tahu kita tidak berada di tempat yang kita inginkan tetapi mari kita terus mendorong. Pekerjaan serius yang harus dilakukan untuk menutup jarak tetapi saya percaya di dalam kamu semua.”
Wolff menyatakan setelah itu: “Situasi Lewis, Anda mendengarnya di radio. Saya pikir dia adalah bagian integral dari tim, mengangkat tim dan kami semua tetap bersatu dan saya tidak berpikir itu akan berubah hanya karena kami memulai awal yang lain yang benar-benar buruk.
Lewis Hamilton yakin dia mengeluarkan yang terbaik dari Mercedes-nya dengan finis di urutan kelima dan dia mengakui mereka perlu meningkatkan performa jika ingin menantang ke depan.
“Kami memenangkan delapan kejuaraan konstruktor dan kami memenangkan enam kejuaraan pembalap bersamanya. Hubungan itu berlaku.
“Saya pikir akan terlalu mudah kehilangan pembalap dan kemudian menyerah begitu saja. Kami tidak melakukan itu. Sebaliknya, kami hanya perlu menggali lebih dalam dan lebih dalam dari yang pernah kami lakukan, dan berikan kedua pengemudi mobil yang benar-benar bisa mereka lawan. Anda hampir merasakannya.”
Ditanya apakah Mercedes sedang mempertimbangkan mencari pembalap lain jika Hamilton tidak bertahan pada 2024, Wolff mengatakan itu “terlalu dini”.
“Saya pikir bukan hal yang penting untuk membicarakan situasi pebalap pada 2024,” tambah Wolff. “Itu terlalu dini.
“Kita perlu semua untuk mendorong ke arah yang sama, para pembalap, para insinyur, kita semua manajemen. Daripada seperti yang saya katakan, menyerah, kita tidak melakukan itu.
“Kami tidak pernah melakukan itu dan kami tidak akan melakukan itu.”
