Lewis Hamilton determined to fix 'odd' weekend

Lewis Hamilton says he and Mercedes will "go back to the drawing board" to figure out what went wrong in the Russian Grand Prix, after finishing a lowly fourth.

The Briton was uncharacteristically off the pace all weekend in Russia, first struggling with balance issues in qualifying before having to battle overheating problems in his W08 during the race. Having been unable to move up the order at the start -- while teammate Valtteri Bottas snatched the lead with a superb getaway -- Hamilton ultimately failed to progress up the order and finished off the podium for the first time since the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix.
