Lewis Hamilton was left largely apologetic following his outing during the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. The 40-year-old endured a forgettable run for much of the Spa-Francorchamps event.
Although the British driver would end up picking up points for the Scuderia Ferrari outfit, Hamilton still apologised after taking the chequered flag at the Ardennes Forest event.
Speaking on his team radio following his P6 finish, he stated:
"Sorry about this weekend, guys. Losing you points. I'll work harder to come back stronger at the next race. Great job on the strategy and pit stop."

Lewis Hamilton’s forgettable weekend

Prior to his recovery drive during the Grand Prix at Spa, Hamilton had largely made headlines—albeit for the wrong reasons. The former Mercedes driver failed to progress past SQ1 for the Sprint race and suffered a similar fate during Grand Prix qualifying, with a track limits violation ensuring he failed to advance to the second round of qualifying.
He would, however, finish the race in sixth place, thanks to a well-executed pit stop strategy by the Ferrari team.
