Lewis Hamilton struggled to eke out any performance in his Mercedes during the Sprint at Interlagos, describing his session as ‘one of the worst races’ he has driven on his way to a P11 finish.
After a tough Sprint Qualifying saw him make an early exit in SQ2, the Mercedes driver was keen to reset ahead of the rest of the weekend and take a step forward during the Sprint itself and qualifying for the Grand Prix.

However, a less than ideal start to the 24-lap event saw the former world champion lose three places to the midfield cars surrounding him, leaving him far off the points paying positions in P14.
Hamilton managed to recover those lost spots over the course of the race, but got stuck in a DRS train which made overtaking even harder – he eventually crossed the line in P11, reclaiming his qualifying position but scoring zero points.
