Lewis Hamilton has shouldered responsibility for the crash which ruined his SingaporeGP, but says he won't 'punish' himself over the mistake F1
Hamilton apologised to his team over the radio, saying: “I’m so sorry about that guys, I f***** that up big time.”
Speaking to media afterwards, Hamilton said he wouldn’t beat himself up over his uncharacteristic mistake.“I’m not going to punish myself for a mistake. It was very tricky conditions for everyone. “The problems that we have with this car are magnified in the rain, when it’s wet, and it’s a very, very hard car to drive in the rain.”Asked if he had the same problem, Hamilton replied:"I don’t really know. I will check on the data.“I don’t want to blame it on that but the car was bottoming a lot and I had the locking. I don’t know where the locking came from. My fault.”
Hamilton, who missed out on his first pole position of 2022 by just 0.054s as he secured his best qualifying of the season on Saturday, felt he had the pace to challenge the leaders had he not been stuck behind Sainz. Despite Mercedes’ struggles in the wet, Hamilton said he could still take some positives away from the weekend.“It’s a bit hit and miss this car but for sure there’s positives to take away from this weekend.
