"I feel fine. I had a good first lap and made some places up and was really unfortunate under the safety car," he tols Sky Sports after yet another point-less race.
"I enjoyed it as much as I could. It definitely has been the most challenging year both in and out of the car," Hamilton acknowledged, addressing the remarkably tough nature of his first year at Ferrari, where neither the performance, nor the results, nor fortune have gone his way.
