Mercedes finished a distant second in the constructorဣs’ championship in 2023 as Red Bull ran away with the championship.

It ended up being Mercedes’ first winless ca🌊mpaign since 2011.

In an interview with Bild, Ecclestone took aim at 𝄹Hamilton - who he felt had “failed a bit” - and Russell - who “wasn’t as good as he thought was”.

“[Lewis] Hamilton failed a bit and [George] Russell wasn't as good as he thought he was eith♎er. Still, they shouldn't have lost so dramatically,” Ecclestone said.
