Video: Hamilton Kobayashi Huge Race Accident at Spa

Hamilton told BBC, "I'm not really quite sure what happened, to be honest. I just remember hitting in the wall – I hit the wall pretty hard. A bit unfortunate for the team – we were in a good position and as far as I was concerned I was ahead of whoever it was I was racing and then I just got hit by them and that was my race over. That's motor racing. There has been a lot of races where we haven't finished this year, so that's just another one of them. I think we were struggling. For whatever reason we were massively slow on the straight, massively, massively slow and I guess that's really what got us in the position really. Everyone was just pulling away from me on the straights and I was only able to keep up on the infield. I think we probably had a little bit too much downforce on. Nonetheless we were in a good position still – we were still able to challenge and I got past one of the Ferraris. We maybe have been able to have at least got a podium."
