Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes - race winner: “What a great job for the whole team. We never give up. We always believed that we could win again. We never give up and that makes me very happy. The Ferraris had a rocket launch and at the start of the race it was hard to keep up their speed. But our race car was fantastic the whole race. We always knew that we had a good race car for long distances, but we did not manage to make the most of it in the previous three races. I didn’t think about the title at the time of the race, although it will be harder and harder in future races. I do not deviate from my tactics, so I will continue to prepare for each race separately. During the race, we hoped the soft tires at Ferrari would start to give way, but we knew we shouldn’t give up and that we should stay close. Today, this bill came out to us. ”
Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes - 2nd place: “Starting the race in fourth place and finishing in second place is not a bad result for me and especially for the team. It is not a victory, but it is still very good. My race was good, I am especially pleased with the second part. We knew we had good racing speed and we believed we could succeed. Now we have to improve on the qualifications to have better starting places, but the racing speed is fine. ”
Charles Leclerc, Ferrari - 3rd place: “It is a pity for the team that we do not have another car on the winners' stage. For us, the race was more or less fine. Mercedes is still very fast, faster than compared to the qualifiers. We need to work on that and improve.
