Lewis Hamilton finished just eighth at the Brazilian Grand Prix as Mercedes struggled on what team boss Toto Wolff later said was the team's worst ever F1 weekend
Yuki Tsunoda was adamant there was a "high chance" he would have passed Lewis Hamilton had he not suffered a clutch problem during the Brazilian Grand Prix.
But Tsunoda was not entirely satisfied with his day's work. He had to manage technical issues on board his car during the latter stages of the race which later turned out to be a problem with his clutch that was affecting gear changes. The 23-year-old added: "Definitely, I could have done more. Sorry for the team. In the end I able to push to the maximum for several reasons. P15 to P9 is still good. Well done to the team."
But race control told him and fellow Aussie Oscar Piastri, who had also suffered damage, that they were a lap down and so their chances of points were already over. And Ricciardo was not at all happy about it as he spoke to reporters afterwards.
