Monaco Grand Prix: Toto Wolff admits Mercedes 'got that wrong' on Lewis Hamilton out-lap call

Toto Wolff admitted Mercedes got it wrong by not telling Lewis Hamilton to push on his out-lap in a bid to undercut Max Verstappen in the Monaco Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion pitted from seventh on lap 51 to swap medium for hard tyres, followed by Red Bull's Verstappen - one place ahead of him - coming in on the following lap.

Nevertheless, Hamilton, who is departing for Ferrari at the end of the 2024 Formula 1 season, had voiced some displeasure following qualifying and stated he did not believe he would be able to out-qualify Russell at any point this year. Wolff insisted Mercedes are not favouring one driver over the other this year, although he understood why Hamilton may have thought that at times in his final year with the Brackley-based outfit.
