Lewis Hamilton crashed out at Zandvoort after going wide on a painted surface made slippery by light rain, losing the rear and hitting the barriers. The incident ended his race and followed a difficult debut year adapting to Ferrari and an off-pace car. Hamilton said he felt progress during the weekend and remained mentally fine and optimistic. He plans to draw energy from the fans at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. Hamilton also received a five-place grid penalty for failing to slow sufficiently for yellow flags on his reconnaissance lap.
"There's obviously a huge amount of pressure on us as a team, more so for me now, he said. I haven't had a good season. Next week, we'll just try to absorb all the energy from the fans."
"I'm fine, I feel fine mentally, I've felt lots of positives, he said. I felt I was making progress, I was catching the car ahead. It's tough to have a result like that but I've been racing for so long I've had God knows how many races and you can probably count on one hand that sort of incident."
