Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes F1) took the podium in 3rd place in the final of the 2022 F1 Round 10 British Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton temporarily led the lap for the first time this season, but returned to the track behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz following a pit stop on lap 33.
The safety car gave Lewis Hamilton, second-placed Sergio Perez, and final winner Carlos Sainz Jr. the opportunity to put on the software for the final restart. After that, Hamilton, Perez, and Charles Leclerc in 4th place developed an incandescent wheel-to-wheel battle.
Lewis Hamilton, who finished in 3rd place, was pleased to be able to battle Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc on a new generation F1 car.
Asked if he enjoyed the fight, Lewis Hamilton commented, “I definitely enjoyed it.”
“It’s very reminiscent of the days of Kurt, and I feel that F1 is in the best condition because I can follow and dice every lap. This is the direction we are going. It’s a proof. “
“I haven’t participated in the battle for a while, so I’m grateful that I was able to participate in the battle.”
After leading the season’s first lap with a heavily upgraded Mercedes W13, Lewis Hamilton was asked if it was “strange feelings” that he might finally do it in his tenth race of the season.
“It’s not strange at all. I’ve spent a lot of years in my career. Not a lot, but I’m sure there have been some years in my career that haven’t won.”
“Advances in the last few races have more potential and potential for this car. We need to continue due diligence, bow down, stay focused and never give up. “
After the interview, in the official release of Mercedes F1, Lewis Hamilton looked back on the race as follows:
“I’ve done everything today! I was chasing them to rob Ferraris, but I want to congratulate Carlos. They were too fast for us today,” said Lewis Hamilton.
“At the end we had a battle with the Czech Republic (Perez). They were straight and too fast for us today, but we really appreciate the team’s hard work for the upgrade and delivery here. We are one step closer to them. However, we will continue to push! “
“It took me a while at the pit stop, and I chased, chased, chased from there. Both tires had great pace, but at the end it was a little difficult.”
“When Red Bull is behind, they’re straight and very fast. There are some improvements, but the podium is a big bonus for us. I’m glad everyone was safe in that big crash early on. Thank you everyone. We will continue to push. “
