ZANDVOORT, Netherlands :Lewis Hamilton suffered his first race retirement with Ferrari after the seven-times world champion crashed out of the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday.

Hamilton was in seventh place when he lost control of his car in the middle of the banked turn three on lap 23 and slid into the barriers, triggering a safety car deployment at Zandvoort.

"I'm so sorry guys," the Briton radioed to his team after confirming he was unhurt.

Minutes earlier he had suggested pitting to try and get ahead of Mercedes' George Russell but the safety car period allowed all the leaders to come in and change tyres without losing time.
