Lewis Hamilton has admitted that disqualification from qualifying ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix left him ‘devastated’ before he performed an incredible recovery drive in the sprint race. Hamilton’s storm through the field had many in the Mercedes team pumped up including team boss Toto Wolff, who after the raced greeted Hamilton over the radio by saying ‘f*** them all.’. The point is that yesterday the car was tested and two hours before the race we were disqualified, it was sad. There are processes to follow and we had cars in breach of regulations. The Dutchman admitted after the race that the reason he was checking Hamilton’s rear wing on friday was because he believes Mercedes are gaining an unfair advantage, although Mercedes boss Wolff has stated his team, aside from Friday, have always been in compliance with the rules.
