Lewis Hamilton endured a nightmare Australian Grand Prix as he was forced to retire due to engine failure, with the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion "really struggling" with his car.
Before his engine failure, Sky commentator David Croft noted: " Lewis Hamilton, heading down towards turn one, on the hard tyre, struggling for grip and struggling and turning into that corner and not able to stay on the track."
