Reflecting on the race to Sky ൲Sports, Hamilton conceded it was a “ve🍃ry tricky” afternoon.

“It’s very tricky,” H🎉amilton said. “It went a lot worse than I thought it would go. The car was really, really hard to drive today. For me, I am just grateful I kept it out of the wall because that’s really where it wanted to go most of the time. A lot to take from it.

“Also just getting acclimatised with the new power unit in wet conditions, all oꦅf the settings it requires are different. Different way of driving. A different setup on the steering wheel.

“I hung out as long as I could, got in the lead at one point. Just the guidance in t💝erms of how much rain was coming, which was missing ther❀e. We missed out.”

Confusing Ferrari strategy in Australia

Hamilton and Leclerc were left to rue poor strategy choices on the pit wall as they came away from the weeke🌞nd with just five points between them.

Ferrari and Racing Bulls didn’t react to tꦏhe heavy rain, keeping their drivers out on slick tyres.

Ferrari thought that the rain would only last a lap at a particular part of the ciꦡrcuit, meaning that staying out on dry tyres could have paid off.

Speaking of the strategy calls, Hamilton added: “We try to but I mean the information I got was it was just a s🐭hort shower, real quick. At the time, it was only in the last corner.

“For me I was like the r𝐆est of the track was dry. I can keep this on track if that’s all that’s coming but more came.”
