This prompted Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff to at one point come on the radio, to try and get Lewis to calm down a bit.
“Lewis, the car is bad, we know,” the Austrian said..
“Please drive it,” he concluded.

“Lando [Norris] did a great job today, McLaren were super quick,” Lewis said.
“Wasn’t expecting them to be as fast as they were but we weren’t expecting to be as slow as we were either.
“This track just highlighted some areas for us to work on. Not the greatest of days.”
When asked if he was surprised by how his car felt during the race, Lewis said he wasn’t.
“The way the car felt doesn’t surprise me, no,” Hamilton concluded.
