MONTMELO, Spain (AP) Lewis Hamiltons frustrating debut season with Ferrari hit a new low point during the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday.
A sixth-placed finish wasnt bad, even for a seven-time world champion.
But Hamilton again finished behind teammate Charles Leclerc, who was third, and had to endure his team telling him to get out the way for Leclerc.
Hamilton was blocking the much faster Leclerc over several early laps until the team order came over the radio.
Worse was to come near the end, however, when Nico Hulkenberg overtook Hamilton in his Sauber.
Hamilton said his car was unbalanced.
I have no idea why it was so bad, Hamilton said. That was the worst race I have experienced, balance-wise.
Oscar Piastri won Sundays race.
The only bright spot for Hamilton since he left Mercedes for Ferrari this season was his sprint win in China. That, however, was followed by a double disqualification for him and Leclerc in the Grand Prix the next day. His best race finish this season was fourth in Imola.

西班牙蒙梅洛（美联社）——刘易斯·汉密尔顿（Lewis Hamilton）在法拉利（Ferrari）的令人沮丧的处子赛季中，于周日西班牙大奖赛上创下了新的低谷。
第六名对一个七届世界冠军来说也不算太差。
但汉密尔顿再次落后于队友查尔斯·勒克莱尔（Charles Leclerc），后者排名第三，他不得不忍受自己的队伍让他为勒克莱尔让路。
在几圈的早期阶段，汉密尔顿一直在阻挡速度更快的勒克莱尔，直到收到车队通过无线电发出的指令。
然而，在最后时刻，事情变得更加糟糕，尼科·胡肯伯格在萨伯赛车上超越了汉密尔顿。
汉密尔顿表示他的赛车不平衡。
汉密尔顿说：“我不知道为什么会这么糟糕。就平衡感而言，那是我经历过的最糟糕的比赛。”
奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里（Oscar Piastri）赢得了周日的比赛。
自从汉密尔顿本赛季从梅赛德斯转会至法拉利以来，他在中国的冲刺赛中赢得的胜利成为了唯一的亮点。然而，紧接着在第二天的大奖赛中，他和勒克莱尔都因双双被取消资格而未能继续前进。他本赛季的最佳成绩是在伊莫拉获得的第四名。
