Lewis Post Race Comments

Optimistic

Lewis Hamilton was surprisingly optimistic about today's race and treated his 4th position as a positive and also gave his team some credit although they put they looked to have gave him the wrong strategy .

Lewis was quick to give credit to Jenson for winning the Hungarian GP.

"Congratulations to Jenson, he was pushing me hard the whole race and the better man won today," the 26-year-old conceded.

“He did a fantastic job and congratulations to the team.

“I think we can definitely say, the team have done a fantastic job and for us to both be the most competitive this weekend I think is a fantastic way to go into the break.

"Of course we would have loved a one-two, I feel like I let the team down a little bit, but we'll bounce back at the next race."

“We've now won two races in the space of a week, which is a great way to enter the summer break.

“I'm disappointed in myself for spinning. I had to do a doughnut to get myself facing the right way and that forced Paul onto the grass, which is why I got the drive-through penalty.

“I've apologised to Paul and I'll put the penalty behind me and move on to the next race at Spa-Francorchamps.”

Lewis Falls to 4th In Hungarian GP

Unlucky Day For Lewis

After last weeks amazing display Lewis was on form and everybody tipped Lewis to shine at Budapest.

The beginning of the race was intense with a cloud of uncertainty surrounding the weather conditions. Lewis had a great opening 10 laps and soon passed Vettel. Button kept Lewis on his toes throughout but Mclaren had to do something strategic because of others teams changing compounds. So they put Hamilton on the Super-Soft tyres and Button on the longer lasting prime/hard/yellow stripe tyres. 

It was a big gamble and only one of the guys was going to come out victorious.

Buttons strategic was working and he gained on Hamilton and Lewis soon lost grip on his worn Super-Soft tyres.  After that point Lewis struggled throughout the race and dropped to 6th. He climbed to 4th in the closing stages of the race.

Lewis Hamilton Qualifies Second In Todays Hungarian GP Qualifier

Comfortable 2nd Place

In todays Qualifier round 3, Lewis Hamilton was on pace and pole in his first run and was looking like cementing down a pole position going into tomorrows Hungarian GP. Lewis put in a blistering 1m 19.978s in Q3.

This was slightly hindered by Vettels next run out on the track. To the dissappointment of all the Mc claren team he put in an outstanding time of 1m 19.815s to put him on pole for the Hungarian GP.

I was very happy with Lewis' performance and would have taken second place before todays qualifying session. So this leaves all us Lewis fans with an exciting race for tomorrow.

Vettel On Pole, But can he stay there?

Lewis Hamilton Happy With Todays Pace:

"It's great to see the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team with both cars on the front two rows - it's a sign that there's real pace here now. Everyone in the team is doing a fantastic job and we were genuinely competitive today.

"At one stage during Q3 I was up: I had half a tenth in reserve. But then I went a little bit wide, which triggered a big over-steer moment, and the result was that I lost that crucial bit of time. But the points aren't given out for today, and I'm feeling good about tomorrow.
"I'm very excited about the race, in fact, because we had quite a good long run yesterday and we'll work hard to build on that pace overnight and take it into tomorrow. We're in the fight – and, with a good start, we can definitely challenge for the win."

Lewis Post Race Interview

German GP Winner Hamilton

Lewis put in a hell of a performance yesterday and many of us english Lewis fans back at home were left in scenes of joy. In a post race interview Lewis described how the race unfolded;

"We really never expected to come here this weekend and be anything like so fast," said the McLaren driver.

"We were hindered in the last race a little bit but the guys did a fantastic job, really pushing very hard.

"The engine was great and I just feel great. It was one of the best races I've ever done."

Hamilton insisted it was not only the cold temperatures that had made it possible for McLaren to beat Red Bull and Ferrari.

"I don't think it's just the conditions," said the Briton, who fought back tears after the race at the Nurburgring.
"Mark Webber, me and Fernando Alonso were all within one tenth of a second of each other lap after lap."

Lewis On Overtaking Alonso

"It felt great - and it's good to get some positive comments on my driving".

Obviously Lewis is delighted having comments put across praising his driving which has been a rare event in the last few months.

When mentioning hs pass on Fernando Alonso Lewis was extremely pleased and was quick to add,

"It was a difficult decision but I had the grip and he didn't get on the power as I thought he would have.

For all Lewis Hamilton fans that witnessed yesterdays German GP, it was such a great feeling seing Lewis pass his bitter former team-mate Alonso.

One thing I did notice that was after the race the top three were all having a chat but I noticed Alonso harldy acknowledged Lewis when spoken to. Anyone else notice this?.

Fantastic 1st Place For Lewis Hamilton

Winner

A fantastic race for the spectators spanning 1 hour and 38 minutes was the best one so far this year.

With Mark Webber struggling at the start of the race Lewis found inspiration straight from the start and pounched on a poor start to put himself first.

Alonso, Hamiltons arch rival was always creeping upto Lewis' car and took the lead of him  for a short period. Luckily Lewis found Alonso napping and caught him on corner 2 on the outside. David Caulthard regarded this as a deciding factor towards Hamiltons win today.

Hamilton celebrated on his team radio: "Great job guys, great job. Keep pushing, these are the results we can get, it's amazing."

Emotions looked high for Lewis near the end of the press conference and it great to see him back lloking ever-so more passionate about his work.

Shocking not only himself but the rest of the world Lewis lets us all know what he thought of yesterdays fantastic qualifying session.

Lewis Hamiltons Q3 Lap In Germany

 'Wicked' Lewis

The underdog Lewis Hamilton showed fans at Silverstone he wasn't giving up on this years title without a fight. And behold, he didn't fail his fans in yesterdays qualification Q3.

Hamilton : Flying

With a convincing 2nd place in Q3 putting in a blistering 1:30.134. Lewis was thrilled with this result.

Lewis Hamilton Is On The Front Row For Todays Race In Germany

2nd Place : Lewis Hamilton (Right)

Yesterday Lewis Hamilton stunned the rest of the field with a blistering time of 1:30.134. This time shocked Red Bull and they only had Mark Webber who could beat this time. Vettel Had no answer on his last lap of Q3 and I doubt he would like to have used another pair of the super-soft tyres.

Before the qualification session people were ready to wield the axe on the Mclaren team and this was a result of disapointing previous grand prix's. Not only is Lewis about to put on a show today in Germany, but he could possibly turn the title race on its head and cause an upset in the Vettel camp.
