Lewis Hamilton said he "may not always get it right in the face of adversity" two days after accusing racing governing body, the FIA, of trying to stop him from winning.
Hamilton was denied a chance at victory at the Russian Grand Prix after being handed two time penalties for two pre-race incidents. The world champion was deemed to have conducted practice starts outside of the designated zone to do so.
Hamilton was furious with the penalty, calling it "ridiculous".
He went on to say: "I need to go back and see what the rules are, what exactly I did wrong," Hamilton told Sky Sports.
