downcast

It is not an entirely downcast mood here though.

"The fans are disappointed. They are allowed to have an opinion on it. I heard their opinion," said a downcast Postecoglou, who was also jeered as he walked down the tunnel at full-time.

Lewis Hamilton, downcast after qualifying 12th in the Ferrari, finished in the same position after a difficult race starting on the hard tyre and trying to go long.

A downcast Hamilton said: "I drove terribly. It is what it is."

While Leclerc put in his outstanding performance, Hamilton had another struggle in qualifying and he was downcast afterwards, even if he was just 0.015secs shy of making it into the top 10.
