Speaking on team radio, Hamilton was quick to offer an apology to his team, after being made aware of his error.

"Ok Lewis, so we do have a five-second time penalty, we just need to get our head down and get on with it," said his race engineer.

Seven-time champion's woes continue

It was the latest blow in a weekend labelled 'disastrous' by the 39-year-old, as he looked to build on two impressive displays in Montreal and Barcelona in Spielberg.

Despite a positive practice session on Friday, Hamilton struggled to find any significant pace in Saturday's sprint race, or in qualifying for the main event.

He was also involved in a bizarre incident during Q3, dragging a rear jack and extraction pipe out with his car as he exited the pit lane.

After being called to see the stewards post-race, Mercedes were handed with a fine for an unsafe release.
