'Three tenths backwards' - Wolff admits confusion over Mercedes upgrades

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has expressed confusion following the team's performance at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Despite introducing a major upgrade package, the team's qualifying results indicated that the car's performance regressed by three tenths of a second compared to expectations.

Wolff acknowledged that the updates failed to deliver the anticipated improvements, leading to an underwhelming qualifying session. The situation has prompted internal scrutiny as the team attempts to understand why the technical modifications resulted in a negative impact on the vehicle's pace.
