168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton has admitted he wanted to leave Mercedes “in the moment” after a miserable weekend at the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

After managing to score just a single point across the sprint and grand prix in an unusually woeful weekend in Brazil, seven-time world champion Hamilton appeared to imply over team radio that it could be his “last time” driving for Mercedes. Hamilton later told Sky Sports F1 that he was “looking forwa𓄧rd to Christmas”.

Mercedes attempted to downplay Hamilton’s comments in the days after the race but the 39-year-old Briton has now clarified that in the heat ꦰof the moment he “didn’t really want to come back”.

"I mean, in the moment that's how I felt, like I🅰 didn't really want to come back after that weekend,” he told media including Sky Sports F1 ahead ofཧ the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

"But I think that's only natural. It's frustrating when you have a season like this, which I'm pretty sure I🎃 won't have again, or at least I'll work towards not having again.

"It wasn't a great feeling in thꦺat moment, but I'm here, I'm standing strong and I'm going to give it absolutely everything for ♛these last few races.”

Hamilton has nothing to prove to Wolff

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff insisted his comments made in a new book about Hamilton’s “shelf-life” as he prepares to leave Mercedes and join Ferrari were 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“taken a little bit out of context”.

As he comes towards the end of a difficult s🌼eason in which he has still managed to claim two victories, Hamilton 😼stressed he does not feel he needs to prove anything to Wolff.

"I think just me being here standing tall,𒊎 I feel strong, I've been traininඣg well, I feel great,” he told Sky Sports F1.

"Honestly, I feel in the best place I've been all⛦ year mentally, and considering how bad the last race was, I think that says enough.

"I've been around this game for a long time. There's been so many things that are said about me, there's been so many micro-aggressions - obviously not from my boss because he's been supportive over all these years and we've achieved a lot together - but I mean in general,♎ within the media and through it all, an🍰d nothing can take me down.

"I'm still here, still fighting and I'm goi🅠ng to continue to push. I've got a team that I genuinely still love, and even though I am leaving, I want to make sure I give them the best I can in these next races.

"If they provide ꧃a car that wants to stay on track then hopefully we'll have a be🅘tter result."
