Toto Wolff critical of Mercedes W14 F1 car: ‘It’s a nasty piece of work’
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell qualified sixth, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton endured h𝔍is worst-ever qualifying performance in the United States with 13th.
Arguably, sixth was a better result than expected for Mercedes given the timing of the red flag caused by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc meant that the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen couldn’t set a lap.
Speaking after quali🐼fying in Miami, Wolff has frank with his assessment of the Mercedes W14.
“The car is notไ a nice car, not a good car,” Wolff s🐲aid. “The basic performance of the car is the lack of understanding of the car.
“I would say the performance is just really bad, and for George and Lewis it just really went south. You could see in the fi꧋rst sector the car really wasn’t there.
“When things go bad they compound bad and this has happened forౠ him [Hamilton] and for all of us as a team.
“I ta🌠ke no enjoyment from finishing sixth. It’s the lack of comprehension of what it is that makes this car such a nasty piece of work.”
It’s in stark con༒trast to Australia, where✅ Russell and Hamilton qualified second and third respectively.
Wolff conceded that the handling of the Mercedes has actually got wors🐬e as the weekend has progressed.
“That is a very front-limited track and we put the car in its sweet spot,” he explained. “It performed well and got better overဣ the weekend.
“It is the contrary of what has happened here in that it has gotten worse over the w𝔉eekend.
“It’s such a narrow o♏perating window that whe🐻n it’s good, it’s okay. It can deliver a podium.
“If it’s bad, you’re P13, or P10 realisticall🧸y, in terms o✅f Lewis.”
