Mercedes' performance in the high-speed corners at the Hollanda Büyük Ödülü was labeled as 'trash' by Technical Director Andrew Shovlin. Shovlin noted that this inconsistency appeared across different stints and between the two drivers, and said that the answers sought by the team need to be investigated.
In the earlier sessions of the day, George Russell took pole position and won the sprint race, making a strong start. However, Mercedes' slowness in the fast corners during the main race led the team to fall behind rival teams such as leading Red Bull and Ferrari. This situation caused the team to reconsider its strategic settings.
Shovlin stated that work on data analysis and car setup would be accelerated to understand the root of the team's performance shortfall. He also added that long-term improvements are planned to prevent the same problem from recurring at other circuits. In this process, the engineering team will also evaluate driver feedback.
