Toto Wolff, team principal of Mercedes F1, does not deny the possibility of the first victory of the season at the 13th round of the 2022 F1 Hungarian Grand Prix.
In qualifying for the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix, George Russell holds off two Ferraris and wins his first pole position. It was also the first pole position of the season for the Mercedes F1 team.
Ferrari still dominates, but at the Hungaroring, where it’s difficult to overtake, it’s unclear how things will change depending on the tires and strategy.
“From the start of Q3 we had the tires in the right window, the car was balanced, everything worked well together and both George and Lewis were gaining confidence lap following lap,” said Wolff. is a comment.
“We are not looking to win this season and we know how strong our rivals are, so to get pole is a solid result for us. We can’t deny that we have another chance to fight for the front and win.”
Team-mate Lewis Hamilton was unable to make his final run in Q3 due to a DRS problem. Toto Wolff says he is sure he would have been in contention for pole position without it.
“With Lewis it was very tough, the DRS broke down at a crucial moment,” said Wolff.
“Without it, I would have been fighting George for pole position, definitely.”
