"Hamilton ends a hugely disappointing first campaign with Ferrari 16th on the grid, after a third straight elimination in the first round of qualifying. I don't have the words to describe the feeling that I have inside, said Hamilton on Saturday. An unbearable amount of anger and rage. There is not really much I can say about it. The Briton's latest setback in qualifying came after he crashed out of final practice, finishing 11 places behind teammate Charles Leclerc despite quick repairs."
"Despite ending up beached on his way to the pits at the previous race in China, rookie Lewis Hamilton arrived in Brazil with a four-point lead over McLaren teammate Fernando Alonso, and seven clear of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. A gearbox glitch put Hamilton in deep trouble at Interlagos, and while he recovered to finish seventh, Raikkonen won the race and the title by a point with Alonso third in Sao Paulo. Final standings: Raikkonen 110, Hamilton 109, Alonso 109."
Lewis Hamilton finished 16th on the grid after being eliminated in the first round of qualifying for a third consecutive time, describing intense anger and having no current plan to improve. A crash in final practice left him 11 places behind teammate Charles Leclerc, who has out-qualified him 19 times in 24 events. Hamilton has not reached the podium this season. Historical finales include 2007 when Kimi Raikkonen won the championship after Hamilton recovered to seventh following a gearbox issue, and 2008 when Hamilton clinched the title with a late rainy-season overtake.
