Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff give Mercedes future updates after Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

“Physically all year, I have been fine, but today I definitely wasn’t.

“I don’t think I have ever been so blown. I am just glad it is over. My body is not feeling great but I have to look on the bright side.

“I made it through, and I didn’t think at any period last week that I would be here.

“I am really just truly grateful for my health, to be alive, and looking forward to recovering over the period we are off, and then getting my body back to where I know it should be.”

Prior to the race, Hamilton had warned fans he wasn’t fully at the races because of the virus.
