“Lewis there is everything to play, everything to play!” exclaimed Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff over the radio following that penalty, as he attempted to rally his driver in the race. However, while Hamilton would finish in P4, he was left dejected with his own performance this weekend.
“Pretty shocking, but really happy for the team,” he told Sky Sports F1 when asked to sum up the day. “Everyone at the factory has worked so hard this year to get a result like this. So big congratulations to the team, and to George, and well deserved.”

Pushed on what he meant by “pretty shocking”, the Briton added: “Just me. Been pretty s*** all weekend. It’s not for the lack of trying but [I’m] just generally slow and it’s just not acceptable.”
Hamilton did also reveal that his race had been hampered after picking up damage on his W15 following the Lap 1 move on the man he will be replacing at Ferrari next year, Sainz.
