Could someone explain to me this "energy" concept everyone keeps talking about.. saying Hamilton used all his energy in the beginning so he didn't have energy for that straight where Antonelli over took him... as if Hamilton's car was exhausted which makes no sense to me.

I'm new to F1, I'm still learning. From what I know about cars they do not operate like the human body.
Only thing that it's losing is fuel... so how did Hamilton's car get exhausted on that straight and couldn't push it again to defend his spot against antonelli?
