Speaking after qualifying in Miami, Wolff has frank with his assessment o⛄f the Mercedes W🍬14.

“The car is not a nice♍ car, not a good car,” Wolff said. “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 G🌳eorge and Lewis it just really went south. You could see in the first sector the car really wasn’t there.

“When things go bad they compound bad andꦡ this has happened for him [Hamilton] and for all of us as a team.

“I take 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 contrast to Australia, where R🎃ussell and✅ Hamilton qualified second and third respectively.

Wolff conceded that the handling of the Mercede☂s has actually got worse as the weekend has progressed.

“T✅hat is a very front-limitꦦed 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 happen꧃ed here in that it has gotten wors🃏e over the weekend.

“It’s such 💧a narrow operating window 🌃that when it’s good, it’s okay. It can deliver a podium.

“If it’s bad, you’re P13, or P👍10 realist♑ically, in terms of Lewis.”
