Toto Wolff was at a loss to explain the continued woes of the underperforming Mercedes, calling the car that carried Lewis Hamilton to a lowly 13th qualifying position for the Miami Grand Prix ‘a nasty piece of work’. A perplexed Wolff said: ‘The car is a nasty piece of work. Wolff, who is clearly trying to defend the underperformance of his star man Hamilton, said: ‘There is not a lot to say to Lewis because the car is simply not fast enough. There are problems everywhere, with the base performance and our lack of understanding of the car. The car is not fast enough and we don’t have any comprehension of why that is.’.
