Sౠpeaking to Sky after the race, Wolff admitted “the car had𒉰 no pace”.

“The car had no pace today,” he said.

"It’s a bruising day I would say because we had such a good upward trend and you have to take such a da♊y.

“There was no pace and no inkling why yet.” 

Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz speculated that Hamilton was nursing a brake issue in the first💦 stint.

Wolff explained why Hamilღton struggled with braking.

“I think the moment you slide those tyres be it through braking or the corners you have no grip,” he added.🦋 This is what happened.”
