After a Brazilian Grand Prix he said left him devastated, Lewis Hamilton thanked supporters for standing by him and Ferrari through difficult days as well as good ones. In an Instagram post on Monday, he wrote: “I feel that support, and I don’t take it for granted.”

Hamilton started his 400th grand prix from 20th after an engine penalty and gained 11 places in the early running on intermediate tyres before the rear tyres began to fade. He pushed Ferrari to switch to slicks and was the first driver to make the change.

Rain returned on lap 62. Hamilton stayed out on slicks for one more lap, spun just before reaching the pits and finished ninth, a lap down.
