Lewis Hamilton ‘counting down days’ to end of season after another poor racePhilip Duncan, PA F1 Correspondent, InterlagosLewis Hamilton said he is “counting down the days” until the end of the season after he finished a distant seventh in Saturday’s shortened race in Brazil. Norris finished runner-up, 4.2 seconds adrift, with Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez third. Performances at the previous two rounds had afforded Hamilton and Mercedes hope that they are closing the gap to Verstappen’s all-conquering Red Bull team. After just 24 laps, Hamilton’s team-mate George Russell, who finished fourth, was 26 seconds behind Verstappen. Perez extended his lead over Hamilton in the race for championship runner-up from 20 points to 24.
