Lewis Hamilton has admitted he wanted to leave Mercedes early after a torrid weekend at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion, who is leaving Mercedes to join Ferrari at the end of the season, made comments over team radio at the end of the race that suggested it could be his "last time" driving for the Silver Arrows, before telling Sky Sports he "could happily go and take a holiday".

Mercedes played down Hamilton’s comments in the days after the race and suggested his radio remarks were directed at team members who would not be working at the final three races of the season in Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
