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.”
