Lewis Hamilton had another difficult Sunday with Ferrari, as the team double collected a double DNF result at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

"It's a nightmare. I've been living it for a while."

The seven-time world champion made contact with Franco Colapinto after the start, which not only broke his front wing, but also damaged his floor.

Once he served his time penalty for the incident, he entered the pit lane and retired from the session.

Talking to Sky Sports, Hamilton explained: "It's a nightmare. I've been living it for a while.

"The flip between the dream of driving for this amazing team and then the nightmare of the results that we've had. The ups and downs. It's challenging."

However, the British driver underlined he continues to work on improving the results during the final weekends of the season.

"Tomorrow I'll get back up. I'll keep training. I'll keep working with the team. I really wanted to get them good points this weekend but I'll come back as strong as I can in the next race and try to recover."

Hamilton still believes

Talking to Viaplay, Hamilton explained that his teammate Charles Leclerc's pace was positive in qualifying.

About the team's current struggles, he added: "We are just really having to fight through those hardships at the moment. I have to believe that these hardships lead to… I believe there is something extraordinary up ahead in my life and in my destiny."

"I truly still believe in this team and what we can achieve together. I just have to keep pushing and keep giving them everything I can."

The seven-time world champion’s next opportunity to bounce back comes at the Las Vegas GP in two weeks, where he claimed his last Formula 1 podium a year ago with Mercedes.
