Lewis Hamilton has revealed he's "lost out" to Charles Leclerc through the set-up of his Ferrari car in recent races.

Hamilton was outqualified by Leclerc at the United States Grand Prix and was unable to match his team-mate's impressive pace in the race on his way to fourth, while Leclerc finished second behind race-winner Kimi Antonelli.

At the previous race in Singapore, Hamilton looked strong in qualifying until Q3 when he was beaten by Leclerc, and a similar pattern occurred in Austin where the seven-time world champion topped final practice, only to qualify fifth.

"I lost a lot of points in the last five races or so," Hamilton, who is one point behind second-placed George Russell in the Drivers' Championship, told Sky Sports F1.
