Hamilton had a healthy lead but a safety car was called after Nicholas Latifi crashed with five laps to go.
Controversially, race director Michael Masi allowed the likes of Max Verstappen to overtake lapped cars separating him from Hamilton.
With Verstappen on soft tyres, he was able to easily overtake Hamilton on the final lap of the race.
Speaking to GQ, he said that it was the day in his life that “hurt him the most” and that the only consolation was that he had his father there for support.
