Lewis Hamilton had his ‘worst day in the office for a long time’

Lewis Hamilton described his German Grand Prix as "probably the worst day" he's had recently, after he started from pole but finished just outside the points.

The Mercedes driver led the race in difficult conditions as heavy rain fell at the start of the race, but looked to be in control until the track dried out and he moved to slick tyres. Hamilton himself questioned the move at the time but was assured by his team that it was the right time to switch.

Moments later he span and contacted the wall on the exit of the penultimate corner, losing part of his front-wing for which he had to pit to replace. He was then handed a time penalty for pitting on the wrong side of the pitlane entry bollard.

Later in the race he span and dropped further down the order, eventually emerging last behind the two Williams cars before recovering to 11th.

"It’s just been a bad day and a bad weekend. There’s not really much more to say really. It was probably the worst day I’ve had in the office for a long, long time," said Hamilton, who has felt unwell all weekend and almost pulled out of the weekend altogether.

"You live and you learn. I don’t really know what happened today to be honest but I’m glad it’s over. We’ve got more races up ahead so we just have to focus on regrouping and coming back stronger."

He shouldered some of the blame for his poor result: "Me hitting the wall wasn’t helpful and then putting on the slick tyres wasn’t helpful with it still raining, so it was just a combination of things."
