Hamilton vows to fight back after Brazil GP setback

Lewis Hamilton says he is devastated by how his Sao Paulo Grand Prix ended, after a strong start from 20th on the grid. He gained 11 positions on the opening lap in wet conditions and was running eighth after switching to slick tyres as the track dried.

A sudden downpour with 10 laps to go changed the race. Ferrari told Hamilton to box, but he missed the pit lane entrance and spun on the next lap. He was one of the last drivers to switch back to intermediate tyres and finished ninth, behind team-mate Charles Leclerc.

Hamilton said the team had worked hard all weekend and that he would work to understand what went wrong before returning to the fight at the next race. He also congratulated Mercedes on winning the constructors' championship. He said he had been short of information from the pit wall during the race.
