He felt the team had a chance to finish in the top four and he had made a good start. However, with Alonso on his blind spot, the Briton thought he had more room than he actually did, which proved to be his undoing, "Looking back at the footage, Fernando was in my blind spot and I thought I left more room than I did, so it was my fault, and I paid the price," said Hamilton. " I'm just sorry for the team; we had a chance of P3 and P4 today. The car felt good on the laps to the grid; we'd got it into a good place, and I'd made a good start." He added that he's now looking forward to a better outing at the Duch GP in Zandvoort next. "After three weeks away, I was looking forward to racing today, so it's frustrating, but it is what it is," said the Briton. "Right now, my job is to focus on the next race, I need to recuperate and get back on the treadmill." The track at Zandvoort should suit Mercedes, so the Briton could have a better outing there than he did at Spa. What's your favorite race of the 2022 season so far? Tell us in the comments below..
