Lewis Hamilton was eliminated in Q2 in qualifying and then suffered a puncture after a racing incident with Oscar Piastri during the Grand Prix, while George Russell picked up a time penalty for a collision with Max Verstappen.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, their biggest rivals in the Constructors\u2019 Championship made significant ground with Charles Leclerc snatching P2 from Sergio Perez on the final lap of the race and Carlos Sainz pipping Hamilton to P6. Off the back of that result, Mercedes\u2019 grip on second place in the standings has been cut to just four points ahead of the season finale.<\/p>\n<p>Discussing the state of play at Mercedes with the <em>Sky Sports F1<\/em> team, Patrick said: \u201cThey\u2019ve got so much better throughout the year, but nothing to show for it. You can sense [that] Toto looked defeated, frustrated, tired maybe. Christian [Horner] was talking about the timing of this event.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>&#8216;Embarrassing&#8217; Max Verstappen called out as Red Bull star takes more flak[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a long year, everybody is wearing down. So I\u2019m sure it\u2019s feeling extra heavy to them now, especially when they have bad days. Especially when they get glimmers of hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Things were looking up for the team after they introduced their critical new floor upgrade in time for the United States Grand Prix in Texas with Hamilton pushing Verstappen all the way that afternoon before his unfortunate disqualification, but Mercedes\u2019 hopes of ending the season with a win unravelled in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes will, however, take some confidence into their Abu Dhabi showdown with Ferrari. The track\u2019s characteristics are expected to suit the W14 well, and Hamilton and Russell both showcased some impressive pace in Las Vegas despite both of their races suffering from complications.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> <strong> More F1&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Max Verstappen hints at divide with fellow F1 drivers after Lewis Hamilton dig[HAMILTON] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Max Verstappen pulled aside by father Jos as ex-F1 star &#8216;understands&#8217; criticism[VERSTAPPEN] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Sergio Perez proves F1 fans wrong after Lewis Hamilton aimed cheeky dig at him[PEREZ] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Lewis-Hamilton-George-Russell-5075438.jpg?r=1700488473611\"><\/p>\n<p>Wolff spoke to <em>Sky Sports F1<\/em> about the incidents involving his two drivers after the race.
