Subdued Hamilton praises Ferrari after ‘tricky’ weekend
The seven-time champion finished ninth after starting 20th in the rain-hit Sao Paulo GP, dropping from third to fourth in the drivers' standings.
Sao Paulo Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton delivers subdued post-race comments after a challenging weekend for Ferrari, their team. The seven-time champion started the race from 20th position, two places behind teammate Charles Leclerc, after engine issues forced him to switch to new power units on Saturday. Despite starting the race positively, Hamilton's rear tyre blew and overheated on slicks, costing him positions.
He revealed he spun late in the race due to wet conditions, which he did not realize had intensified. With Ferrari finishing second in the Constructors' standings, Hamilton slipped from third to fourth in the Drivers' standings, behind Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, Max Verstappen, and George Russell.
