"The race is done and I just feel like moving forwards. It's not been a great weekend for me. Yesterday was entirely my fault [qualifying grid penalty]," Hamilton said on Sky Sports.
"It was a bit odd for sure today to all of a sudden get a penalty but that didn't destabilise me.It just encouraged me to go out and drive as best as I could. I felt like I did. I had the pace to catch up with Valtteri and then, a really unfortunate scenario with Alex.
"I can't believe we've come together again. It really felt like a racing incident but either way I'll take whatever penalty they feel I deserve and move forwards."
Leclerc and Norris are placed second, and third respectively on the drivers' standings which are led by Bottas.
Mercedes are sitting at the top of Constructors' standings and they are looking to secure the Constructors' championship for the seventh consecutive year.
Norris' McLaren are placed second on the standings, while Ferrari are sitting on the third spot.
