GP TUSCANY, race: Statements of the best three

Despite the expected victory of Mercedes, the Tuscan race brought a lot of diversity and, at least on the last podium, the change that Alex Albon deserves.

It was the end of a really exciting race for the Tuscan Grand Prix, which was even interrupted twice. But still, on top of nothing new, Hamilton with his 90th career win, second by his team-mate Bottas and third by Alex Albon, as a wound patch Red Bulland due to the resignation of Verstappn.

While the podium for the Mercedes duo is already like daily meals, Alex Albon is certainly extremely happy with his first podium in his career, which he was very close to in the opening race of the season in Austria, if today's winner did not prevent him. These are also the first podiums for the Thai Formula 1 racer.

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes - winner"Ugh, and that was hard work today. Great job by everyone on the team, it wasn’t easy today. Thank you for your work, I really appreciate that (this is what Lewis said on the radio, op.p.). I still can’t comprehend that I won, everything is still so foggy. It felt like we had three races in one day. It was very difficult out there. The trail here in Mugello is truly phenomenal. Even the floor plan of the track itself is not easy, it was even harder to be able to keep Valtteri behind me. Restarts were critical, where full concentration was required. At the beginning of the race it was just about managing the tires, but later I noticed that Bottas really wanted to win today. I had to constantly look in the rearview mirror and necessarily prevent it from approaching me for less than a second. He wanted to prevent this in any way. In the end, I succeeded, but my heart beats very hard, because I had to earn this victory hard."   

Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes - others: “Of course I am disappointed. I had several opportunities, but I failed to make anything out of it. I was able to hold my position, but there were no more opportunities later. There was simply nothing I could do. There were a lot of qualifiers this year that I lagged very close to, it was usually hundreds. And that had a big impact on my position and then on the course of the races. I must be able to turn the matter around in my favor and I am sure that my time will come. ”

Alex Albon, Red Bull - the third: “Thank you for supporting me during these times. It took longer for me to manage to bend the podium. The race was very difficult today, now I can take a break. Firstly, because the race is over and secondly, because the questions of when he will manage to win the podium for the first time may end. At the same time, I’m surprised myself that I’m not so tired. The other part of the track with these fast turns is really brutal. Not all of my starts today were good, but my race car was good, allowing me to be able to attack Ricciardo and overtake him. This race, on the one hand, required patience to relieve the tires a bit in the meantime, and on the other hand, I had to attack with all my might when it was needed. And that helped me reach my first podium. That's a very nice feeling. "   

And finally, let’s mention the category winner racer of the day, who became in Mugello Daniel Ricciardo. This time we mention him especially for the reason that he is his boss Cyril Abiteboul for a long time he trembled and wondered where in his body he would have tattoo, which is the subject of a bet between him and Australians in case the latter is placed on the podium.
