Mercedes chief Toto Wolff has joined driver Lewis Hamilton in admitting that today's race will be one to forget for the team.
The Silver Arrows' difficulties began not long after the Grand Prix weekend got under way in Italy on Friday. After a practice session which was nothing to write home about, qualifying was a disaster with both cars outside the top 10.
Saturday's sprint race offered an opportunity for Hamilton and George Russell to improve their starting position for the main event, but they couldn't manage it. Instead, Russell remained in 11th while Hamilton even slipped a further place back and will start the race 14th on the grid.
