Wolff: "That frustration reflects the high standards we hold ourselves to"

For Mercedes the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was one to forget. With seven points from the last two races Mercedes travels to France, but Toto Wolff is confident his team can bounce back.
It is a strange feeling for Formula 1 fans, but Mercedes can make mistakes too. In Monaco, things went wrong with Valtteri Bottas' pit stop and Lewis Hamilton's strategy, but in Azerbaijan, the Mercedes drivers didn't even score any points.
Wolff wants to strike back
''We come off the back of two street circuits unsuited to our car, two circuits we knew would be difficult for us, and we were disappointed to lose a podium finish and a victory through our own mistakes. That frustration reflects the high standards we hold ourselves to, and it is what drives us forward,'' Wolff said in a preview from Mercedes.
''In such a close, intense title fight, we need to deliver a car at each race which both our drivers can confidently push to its limits. We'll be looking to turn our learnings from recent weeks into performance and to deliver a much stronger weekend with both cars'', concludes the Mercedes team boss.
