Lewis Hamilton was happy to see the back of his Mercedes on Sunday after enduring the first season without a win, or a pole position, of his record-breaking Formula One career.
The seven-times world champion, who made a sensational F1 debut with McLaren in 2007, retired from the final Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with a loss of hydraulic pressure three laps from the end.
"We were basically stuck with it and we just kept trundling away, kept working away at improving it but I think the fundamentals have still been there all the way to the end," added the 37-year-old.Hamilton ended the season sixth overall, with team mate George Russell fourth in the standings. Team boss Toto Wolff said Hamilton's failure to finish summed up a season marked by the car suffering from 'porpoising', or bouncing, on the straights.
Russell, winner in Brazil a week earlier in a Mercedes one-two, finished fifth on Sunday. The team ended up third overall in a constructors' championship they had dominated for the previous eight years.
