Lewis Hamilton has vowed to come back fighting at the next Formula 1 race after being left devastated with how his Sao Paulo Grand Prix unraveled at Interlagos.
The seven-time world champion started 20th on the grid after taking a penalty for a new engine but gained 11 positions with a stunning opening lap charge in treacherous wet conditions.
After acing the timing of a switch onto slick tires as the track dried out, Hamilton found himself running comfortably in eighth position when a sudden downpour struck with just 10 laps remaining.
Ferrari instructed him to box, but he missed the pit lane entrance and spun on the following lap as conditions dramatically worsened, eventually crossing the finish line in a distant ninth behind teammate Charles Leclerc.
Reflecting on the chaotic finish, Hamilton expressed profound disappointment over the lost opportunity while praising the relentless efforts put in by the Scuderia Ferrari crew throughout the weekend.
He also pointed to a communication gap from the pit wall regarding the sudden shift in weather, which ultimately cost him vital track position during the closing stages of the race.
