Chronicle EditorSHANGHAI. — Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton cast around for a silver lining after a “horrifying” Chinese Grand Prix weekend and found some solace in the numbers.
“Not as bad as I thought,” the Briton told reporters after discovering he was “only” 36 points behind Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg with 18 rounds remaining.
Rosberg has now won six races in a row, the last three of 2015 and first three of 2016, and the German is in the form of his life.
“It’s been awkward but these things happen and these things are sent to try us,” Hamilton said after starting from the back of the grid in Shanghai. — AFP.
