Lewis Hamilton takes "full responsibility" for not delivering on Ferrari pace at Belgian GP

Lewis Hamilton accepted full responsibility for his disappointing Belgian Grand Prix result, which he traced back to a crash in FP3 at Turn 13 that damaged his Ferrari SF-26's rear end. He believed the car's balance was never fully restored after repairs, costing him time in qualifying and affecting his race pace despite Ferrari having the potential to challenge for victory with both cars at Spa. Hamilton also received a five-second penalty for contact with Russell during the race, which he described as part of a 'domino effect' stemming from his Saturday incident, ultimately finishing fourth.
