The 37-year-old admitted after the race that it was a “pretty rubbish day” on the track.

However, the seven-time world champion remains confident he will recover from this poor display.

Hamilton said: “I don’t really have much emotion at the moment. It’s a pretty flat, pretty poor day – a pretty rubbish day to be honest. But I feel okay – I’m just looking forward to tomorrow.

“I think we started off with a pretty decent weekend, just really, really unfortunate at the end.

“I was trying – obviously, it was difficult to overtake, and that lock-up into Turn 7, when those things happen, your heart sinks a little bit.

“We would have potentially undercut him, maybe. But it was a battle of not undercut but who got on the slicks first, and it would have been slice and dice.

“So, I was hoping for that and that was what I was working towards but that went all out the fricking window when I locked up.

“So, my apologies to the team but we live and we learn, and I’ll recover.”
