He predicts a challenging race ahead due to the car's performance issues and overheating tires and brakes. Teammate George Russell also expresses disappointment with the lack of consistency in the team's performance.
Lewis Hamilton described the Mercedes W14 as a “nightmare” after he qualified P6 for the Mexican Grand Prix.
Hamilton would go on to stumble to a P6 starting spot with his team-mate George Russell two places further back and the seven-time World Champion is not confident of an easy race.Speaking after the qualifying proceedings had come to an end, Hamilton labelled the W14 as a “nightmare” and predicted a “real challenge” was ahead of him in Sunday’s race.
“Q1 and Q2 weren’t looking too bad – especially the second run in Q2. But the car is just really peaky – sometimes it’s in the window, sometimes not. And I couldn’t squeeze anything more out of it on that final lap. Russell was similarly disappointed with his run, suggesting the team lacked “consistency” throughout Saturday’s running.
