Mercedes Formula 1 team principal Toto Wolff expressed frustration after a chaotic Bahrain Grand Prix, where George Russell retired late in the race due to a power unit failure. According to Motorsport.com, Wolff described himself as "massively annoyed" and "not in a happy place".
George Russell started from seventh on the grid but made a strong start, moving up to second place behind team-mate Kimi Antonelli. He was passed by Max Verstappen early on but regained second place before being forced to retire with a power unit failure before the final restart.
Russell labelled his misfortune as "laughable" and expressed his disappointment, stating it was "beyond disappointment" and that it had happened "so many times this season". This was his third retirement of the season and his second due to a technical issue.
