Lewis Hamilton said the main problem in the United States Grand Prix was the balance of his Ferrari. Starting fifth at the Circuit of the Americas, he finished fourth in Austin.
Hamilton said the setup he used left a lot to be desired and identified it as the reason he missed out on a podium. He said his car ran with the front wing "12 clicks down" for much of the race, which he believed contributed to the gap to team-mate Charles Leclerc.
