Like I said before, his floor was damaged. And lost about 40-50 points of downforce on the rear.
Even if there were safety car to bunch up the field, he can hardly overtake anyone. Since the damage, his car was down to the pace of a Sauber like.
He was thinking, he's stuck on P16, not catching up with a damage car. There's nothing to salvage, we can put a good engine into better use next race or later this season. Which might benefit Hamilton if others starting to have engine troubles and running extra power unit components, and taking grid penalties.
