The abu dhabi race was won by young Red Bull driver Max Verstappen and was heard before the race. Mercedes has restricted engine power in the race due to concerns about the energy recovery system.
Hamilton finished third behind Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas, and the British rider says He has not yet regained his strength from his coronavirus infection.
“I had a very tough race,” said the seven-time world champion. “I was physically fine all year, but definitely not today. So I’m glad it’s over. ”
When asked if he felt like his previous coronavirus infection had affected him in Sunday’s race, Hamilton explained: “Physically massive. I don’t know if I’ve ever drowned that much.”
“My body doesn’t feel good, but let’s see the good side of things, I’m beyond. I didn’t think I would be here last week. ”
“So I am very grateful for my health and for being alive and eager to recharge in the next period. I want to go back to training, I want to get my body back. ”
The world champion added the Red Bulls were in front of them all weekend.
“I think the Red Bulls were too far this weekend. We couldn’t keep up. ”
Hamilton also spoke about do not know that the Mercedes had to run with the engine unwound today due to reliability issues.
“I don’t think that was the case. But I’m going to ask because I personally didn’t know. I was late Thursday night, ”he said.
“Mercedes and the engine department have done an impressive job this year. If you look at my reliability, I was able to get to the finish in every race, which is really fantastic. ”
“There were problems with other Mercedes engines, such as Racing Point and Williams, so there is still work to do. So if there really was action this weekend, it made sense. ”
“But honestly, I didn’t know the engines were unwound, so I can’t say too much about that. Red Bull was obviously faster today, and for the first time this year, they also had a huge advantage in the pace of the competition.
