Lewis Hamilton claimed victory in a dramatic Azerbaijan Grand Prix last weekend, his first win of the season, and also a maiden 2018 victory for constructors Mercedes.

After the Mercedes domination of the previous few years, the first three races of this years Formula 1 season threatened more competitive races, with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel taking home the first two races and Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo scooping the Chinese Grand Prix.

But British driver Hamilton finally notched a win, but it was at the expense of his team-mate Bottas, who suffered an unfortunate puncture late on in the race, handing the lead to Hamilton. The usage of a safety car as well helped Mercedes, who coincidentally lost the race in the opening weekend in Melbourne due to a virtual safety car.

You'd be forgiven for thinking Mercedes bosses would be delighted with Hamilton taking the trophy for them, but Toto Wolff's reaction was anything but beaming, believing Bottas deserved a victory.

"It still doesn't feel right, for two reasons," said Wolff following Hamilton's triumph.

"The first reason is that we lacked the pace, and the second reason is that the quickest guy on track did not finish because of a puncture that was caused by debris on track three laps from the end.

"The feeling that prevails all of us is that we didn't have the pace through the weekend that we need to have.

"From [Hamilton's] perspective, he very much knows what's right and wrong, and it was Valtteri's race to win.

"But I think he just got his Melbourne victory back, from his perspective. This is how you must see it."

"Valtteri just kept going faster and faster and faster, to the point that even with no safety car we thought there was a chance," Wolff added.

Bottas will have the chance to get revenge for his unfortunate puncture at the Spanish Grand Prix in two weeks time, and if he performs as well as he did in Baku pre-incident, there is no reason why Mercedes can't take home the winning prize for the second race in a row.
