Lewis Hamilton<\/a> has crashed out in the Dutch Grand Prix on the exit of the third corner.<\/p>\n

During lap 23 of the race at Circuit Zandvoort the Ferrari star sent his left front into the barrier as he exited the corner.<\/p>\n

A safety car was called as the seven-time world champion’s race came to a disastrous end in the Netherlands despite getting off to a positive start.<\/p>\n

The afternoon only went from bad to worse for Ferrari as Charles Leclerc<\/a> later crashed out at the very same corner that brought an end to Hamilton’s race.<\/p>\n

The Monegasque driver span out after a dramatic coming together with Kimi Antonelli with Ferrari suffering double DNFs for the second time this season.<\/p>\n

Hamilton’s incident marks the latest setback on the track for the Briton since he completed a high-profile switch to the Scuderia last year.<\/p>\n

Hamilton’s Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc was also forced to retire after a collision at the very same corner<\/p>\n

After a particularly disappointing showing during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix earlier this month Hamilton sensationally suggested that he needed to be replaced<\/a> and called his performance ‘useless’.<\/p>\n

However, the sport’s summer break appeared to have invigorated the former Mercedes man.<\/p>\n

‘[In the break] I’ve just been with family \u2013 with my niece and nephew, with Roscoe, and it’s been great,’ Hamilton told the Formula One website<\/a> ahead of Sunday’s return.<\/p>\n

‘I’ve enjoyed being away and to unplug, then just bring myself back to my core. That’s how I’ve always done it.<\/p>\n

‘Lots of meditation, finding gratitude in every single day and just realigning yourself to your core beliefs. They’ve always been there, and I will use those moving forwards.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added: ‘I think right now, it’s just about calming some things down and focusing on getting back to enjoying my job. I love this sport, I always have.<\/p>\n

‘That’s why I got into it, and I’m going to drown out all of the noise and just get back to\u2026 this is a great restart moment for us.’<\/p>\n
