Remember also that a couple of races ago Hamilton was stuck in DRS a queue for the entire race. So perhaps this was in the back of his mind when he was thinking that all was lost.
I don't like criticizing a driver too heavily for radio messages (even the angry sweary outbursts) - they are after all done in the heat of the moment between driver and team. I think even Vettel jumped to Hamilton's defense on this point in the past, at a point in time when him & Hamilton were top rivals fighting for the WDC and their relationship was not great.
