McLaren's pace in British Grand Prix qualifying is another wake-up call for Mercedes as they struggle for performance, seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton warned on Saturday.
Britain's Lando Norris qualified a stunning second and Australian rookie team mate Oscar Piastri third in a revised car and on a drying Silverstone track, with Mercedes's George Russell and Hamilton sixth and seventh.
Mercedes are second in the championship, but 199 points behind Red Bull, and are struggling to beat teams using the German manufacturer's engines. Norris finished fourth in Austria last weekend, with Russell seventh and Hamilton eighth, but the jury remained out amid suggestions that result was track specific given McLaren's strong past form there."I think it's very encouraging to see that Aston Martin found massive chunks of lap times from last year to this year and in the same way you see that within the season McLaren doing that," said Wolff.
