Saudi Arabia Grand Prix – Hamilton: « It was something exceptional »
The victory of the British driver at the Jeddah circuit allowed him to catch up with Max Verstappen in the championship.
Lewis Hamilton won the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, after which he admitted that the victory was very difficult for him. But he was right, the Red Bull Racing car was once again very fast, and it was very difficult to overtake it on this track.
« I have been racing for a long time, but this one was incredibly difficult. I tried to be as tough as possible, but at the same time I was thinking about my actions. It took all the experience gained over the years to keep the car on the track and not have any problems ».
(E) Regarding the contact with Verstappen, I don’t understand why he braked suddenly – because of that, I hit his car from behind. And then he continued. I didn’t really understand what was going on, and the team’s message that he should have let me pass, I received later.
Thanks to the double podium, Mercedes has consolidated its lead in the constructors’ championship.
