“I'm not really quite sure, to be honest,” Hamilton told BBC Sport when asked to explain his version of events. “I just remember hitting in the wall and I hit the wall pretty hard. It’s a bit unfortunate for the team because we were in a good position. As far as I was concerned, I was ahead of whoever it was I was racing and then I got hit by and that was my race over. That's motor racing. There have been a lot of races where we haven't finished this year, so that is just another of them.
“For whatever reason, we were massively slow on the straights - massively, massively slow - and I guess that's really what got us into that position.”
