Third place for home idol Lewis Hamilton author of a superb race with a impressive pace it's surely the charge which his fans who came in their thousands to watch him race on his home circuit broadcast It helped quite a bit.
Word to Hamilton
After a race done always on the attack by the pilot Mercedes it can only be satisfied with his performance and the support the public has given him: “Thanks to this audience. There hadn't been so many people in years. This is the best crowd in the world, there is no other place where you see this support. I gave everything. I tried to chase the Ferraris, congratulations to Carlos, they were too fast for us today. I eventually found myself struggling with Czech and he was too quick on the straights for me. But I'm really grateful for all the work the team has done. The update we brought here brought us closer together and now we will keep pushing.”
The rimpianto
The only regret the seven-time world champion may have is a not very quick pit stop from his own meccanici which, in his opinion, would not have been enough anyway keep such a fast Red Bull behind: “New tires? We lost time at the pit stop. The pace was great with both sets of tyres. But in the end it was difficult because once you find yourself a Red Bull behind them they are too fast in a straight line. That's where we need to improve. But it's a big bonus to get on the podium for us here."
