The German team had brought on a special livery to celebrate 125 years. They had gone retro in the race suits and the performance on the track also looked dominating. They started the race 1-2 and looked ominous, but all it started to go wrong after Leclerc’s crash.
Behind the safety car, Hamilton crashed into the last corner and damaged his front wing, and came into the pits. The pit stop was over a second and put him back in P5. Then he got a penalty for not following the instructions while entering the pit lane and then he spun. Bottas crashed while chasing Stroll for p3.

“[The crash] was just a mistake,” added Wolff. “Many others made the mistake, Leclerc crashed, and many others crashed. Overall, it was for us a bad day, it was for the drivers a bad day. It simply could not go much worse.”
“It shows that you shouldn’t fool around with stuff, you should concentrate on the job,” he said. “We’re not superstitious, but we believe in karma. It’s a day to learn,” said Wolff.
Mercedes got just two points from the race and was the laughingstock of the paddock for that weekend.
