Toto Wolff assumiu que a Mercedes atrapalhou George Russell no GP da Cidade do México. De acordo com o chefe da equipe, uma falha na entrega de energia prejudicou a largada do britânico e acabou com suas chances de brigar pela vitória.
Russell saiu em segundo, depois de perder a pole para Lewis Hamilton por 0,009s, mas caiu de posição na largada e ainda tomou 10 segundos de castigo depois de um toque com Isack Hadjar logo na primeira volta. Kimi Antonelli terminou em terceiro e faturou seu primeiro título mundial; Russell cruzou apenas em sexto.
"Nós o decepcionamos completamente hoje, de novo", disse Wolff. Ele contou que a equipe ainda investiga a causa da pane, que apareceu justamente quando o piloto disputava a ponta. "Temos dois pilotos, não temos apenas um. O carro simplesmente não funcionou para ele neste ano."
O austríaco cobrou correções em falhas como a do México para que Russell volte a brigar por títulos: "Meu objetivo é fornecer a ele o equipamento e o suporte de que precisa para disputar um campeonato."
Na tabela, a sexta posição derrubou Russell do segundo para o quarto lugar. Ele está 11 pontos atrás de Max Verstappen, vice-líder, e nove atrás de Hamilton, terceiro.
