Hamilton's first season at Ferrari 'a nightmare'
Lewis Hamilton is yet to finish on the podium for Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton said his first season at Ferrari had been "a nightmare" after he retired from the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion was hit by the Williams of Carlos Sainz on the first lap, before misjudging an attempted overtake on Alpine's Franco Colapinto at the start of lap two.
That resulted in front wing damage which was quickly replaced during a pit stop, but he was left lacking pace with a damaged floor.
Hamilton was given a five-second penalty for the incident with Colapinto and eventually retired from last position on lap 39.
Briton Hamilton is yet to finish on the podium for Ferrari, although he had a dominant victory in the sprint race at the Chinese Grand Prix in March. He is sixth in the drivers' championship.
"This is a nightmare, and I have been living it for a while. The flip between the dream of driving for this amazing team and the nightmare of the results we have had, the ups and downs, it's challenging," Hamilton told Sky Sports.
