ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Mercedes Formula One boss Toto Wolff said he was fed up with explanations for his car's poor performance after practice pace turned into qualifying disappointment at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

George Russell had been top in final practice but the Briton had the fourth quickest car in qualifying behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and McLaren's Oscar Piastri.
