Asked by Sky Sports F1 if Mercedes had been left scratching their heads when Ferrari put Leclerc onto the hard tyres, Wolff replied: “I think they had no option. They had only hard and soft left and for the soft it was too early. So only the hard.The decision certainly helped Mercedes’ cause though, Lewis Hamilton going from P7 on the grid to finish P2, while Russell crossed the line P3 to make it consecutive double podium results for the team.
