Mercedes feared that one of its cars might miss the Austrian Grand Prix if it was damaged in Saturday’s sprint, following two costly crashes in qualifying F1
both had heavy accidents in Friday’s Q3 session in qualifying, and the former was forced to switch to the spare chassis, which was built up for him on Saturday morning.
“When you crash two cars it's always going to make for a very difficult weekend from then onwards,” Elliott said in Mercedes' Austria debrief video . “Having rebuilt the cars we also had to dial in the set-up again, and you've got very limited time in FP2 to do that, and that was always going to be another compromise,” he said.
