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 his 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 qualifying in Miami, Wolff has frank with his assessmeꦰnt of the Mercedes W14.
“♛The car is not a nice car, not a good car,” Wolff said. “The basic performance of the cꦡar 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 first sector the car really wasn’t there.
“When thin🃏gs go badꦕ they compound bad and this has happened for him [Hamilton] and for all of us as a team.
“I take no enjoyment from ꦉfinishing sixth. It’s the lack oꦉf comprehension of what it is that makes this car such a nasty piece of work.”
It’s in stark contrast to Australia, where Russellꦉ and Hamilton qualified second and third respectively.
Wolff cꦫonceded that the handling of the Mercedಌes has actually got worse 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 over the🧜 weekend.
“It is the contrary of what has hap🦩pened here in that it has gotten worse over the weekend.
“It’s such a narrow o𒐪perating window that when it’s good, it’s okay. It can𝔍 deliver a podium.
“If it’s bad, you’re P13, or P10 𓃲realist💎ically, in terms of Lewis.”
