<\/p>\n

Toto Wolff has claimed that there is no ‘magic scew’ for Mercedes to turn and improve ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday following a miserable sprint race at Interlagos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mercedes had hoped to challenge Max Verstappen and Red Bull for victory in Brazil this weekend having claimed their only win of the 2022 campaign at Interlagos, but the Silver Arrows were given a rude awakening on Saturday.<\/p>\n

After qualifying inside the top five, Russell and Hamilton climbed to P2 and P4 after the opening stages, but both drivers drowned relative to their close rivals as the sprint race progressed.<\/p>\n

Russell managed to close out a P4 finish when the chequered flag waved at the Interlagos circuit on Saturday, while Hamilton dropped behind Charles Leclerc and Yuki Tsunoda on his way to P7.<\/p>\n

Discussing a miserable afternoon for the Silver Arrows, Wolff told Sky Sports F1<\/em>: “I think we pushed very hard at the beginning, the car was not balanced right, and then you put in some sliding and it just killed the tyres.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s what happened to George in Mexico. I think we had a little bit too weak of a rear end, and then obviously it\u2019s balancing them on the knife\u2019s edge. Trying to hold onto the pace was maybe something we need to learn for tomorrow, but a bruising day.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think that there is a magic screw you can turn and then everything is fixed. It was very hot, everything went against us today. We need to really scratch our heads hard over what we can do for tomorrow, and improve.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
