In a career of such consistency, brilliance and unrivalled success, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was about as bad as it gets for Lewis Hamilton in Formula One.
Finishing 13th without any real incident to shift the blame on is bad enough. But the gut punch would have been the enormous gap to his team-mate George Russell, who drove another exemplary race to finish fourth. He now leads Hamilton 49 points to 28 after four races, beating him in the last three rounds.
The seven-time champion said sorry for his own performance after the race, writing off his own championship chances with at least 18 rounds still to go.
