“We’ve had six podiums in a row and that doesn’t look like the car three weeks ago that was first and second, at least first on merit [after Russell was disqualified].

“You can’t really end up with a result like this without any major factor playing, and that’s something we need to analyse in the next few days until Monza.

“Was it a setup? Was it the track? What is it that we got wrong? Was it the floor that we put on the car? Was it all of this together?

“Hopefully we can sort it out for Monza and become competitive again, but the swing in performance from P1-P2 to P7-P8 there’s a biggie in there.

“It’s not something that was simply a setup decision in my opinion,” said Toto Wolff after the disappointing race. 

Mercedes currently sit fourth in the Constructors Championship.
