But the inconsistency of the Mercedes car certainly is. The next race is the Canadian GP in two weeks' time, and all eyes will be on Mercedes in practice and qualifying. Head of motorsport Toto Wolff even called the Mercedes car "a diva" and a "mystery" because of its temperamental and unpredictable nature. There is even talk that Mercedes may have to give priority to one of its two drivers to arrest the current slide. But in Monaco, Bottas' car looked much faster and more reliable, which would make it difficult to give Hamilton the priority at this stage.
