Hamilton reflects after difficult Singapore Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton described the Singapore Grand Prix as a painful lesson after a difficult outing at the Marina Bay Circuit. Following the race, he sent a message to fans and pointed to his own role in the result rather than blaming Ferrari.

Hamilton finished sixth in Singapore after choosing not to pit when the team called him in. Reports said that strategy decision hurt his race and cost him a chance of a podium.
