Lewis Hamilton offers bleak outlook for F1 season with "miserable" Mercedes car

Lewis Hamilton failed to offer his fans much hope of a strong result at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as he admitted he is "miserable" with his car.

The seven-time world champion could manage only eighth fastest in qualifying on Saturday. He will be bumped up by one place on the grid thanks to a 10-place penalty for Charles Leclerc, but that apparently did little to improve his mood.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he offered a bleak outlook on the rest of the season ahead as he admitted his true feelings about his W14 car. "I just don't feel the car underneath me," he said, after telling of his struggles "at high speed in particular" during qualifying.
