Hamilton “didn’t hear that it was raining more” before high-speed spin | Formula 1

Lewis Hamilton revealed that an unreceived weather warning caused his late spin during the Brazilian Grand Prix. The driver explained that his team previously informed him the drizzle would remain constant, leading him to push before encountering heavier rain at turn one without knowing conditions had worsened.

Hamilton started the race from 20th following power unit penalties, made up 11 positions on lap one, and navigated fluctuating tire strategies. Despite battling tire overheating and completing an extra pit stop, he praised his team's efforts as teammate Charles Leclerc finished two spots ahead in seventh.
