Toto Wolff says unacceptable Mercedes car is a 'nasty piece of work'

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff delivered a brutally downbeat verdict after Saturday's qualifying misery at the Miami Grand Prix - describing the team's W14 car as "a nasty piece of work".

Qualifying on Saturday brought significant pain for the team, with seven-time world champion Lewis suffering the embarrassment of failing to even make it out of Q2. He would qualify in a lowly 13th position.

Things were a little better for George Russell, but he admitted the team was flattered by his P6 showing, with Q3 ending early after a late crash for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
