With light rain falling onto the track, it seemingly made things slippery but Hamilton was heard saying on team radio that it was an error made by him. Speaking to the media after his race was finished, the veteran recalled that things had been looking good during practice and that what transpired was inexplicable.

As quoted by Yahoo Sports, he had said:

"I’m really not sure [what happened], will have to look back at it. As I went up the bank, the rear snapped out and I couldn’t recover it. The car was a bit twitchy but I think we made real progress this weekend. My pace was looking pretty decent. I was catching George [Russell]. But so unusual not to finish a race. It’s definitely not great, but it is what it is."

Before the Dutch Grand Prix, the veteran athlete suggested that he feels determined to move forward and wants to enjoy himself. He said, as quoted by ESPN:

"I feel determined to and motivated to [move forward]. We are just going to be working, keep our heads down, try to change a few things in our approach and start to enjoy ourselves. There's been so much pressure in this first half of the season, it's not been the most enjoyable. So I think just remembering that we love what we do, we're all in this together and yeah, trying to have fun."
