Lewis Hamilton has admitted it was "a relief" to discover after his poor performance at the Spanish Grand Prix than he had been "massively" hindered by a technical issue with his Ferrari.
Hamilton started from fifth on the grid in Barcelona and moved up to fourth on the first lap, but then struggled badly for pace as he took the chequered flag in sixth, having been ordered to let through team-mate Charles Leclerc who finished third.
The seven-time world champion cut a despondent figure during his post-race interviews as he suggested the lack of pace was down to his driving rather than the car, but Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur later said that Hamilton had been impacted by an issue with his SF-25.
