Russian GP - race: Statements of the first three

Smiling and pleased Bottas and Verstappen. Hamilton, on the other hand, is very sparse and visibly disappointed.

1st place: Valtteri Bottas

»I knew it would be my first chance to get to first place right after the start. I was too long because a bee or something like that ran into my vizier. But I still knew the race was going to be long. I was on medium tires as well Lewis got a penalty, so I didn’t exaggerate. And who is Lewis went to the pits I took first place and controlled the competitors. It’s nice to win again after a long time. I have to keep the current form and momentum in which I am. "

2nd place: Max Vertappen

»Despite the complications at the start, I am happy for second place. I really drove a different line after the start, and then there were no more problems to the safety car. After the restart, the medium tires were not as good as we expected. But after switching to hard tires, it was much better. We were more competitive again. I’m glad we ended up between the two again Mercedes. During the race, I didn’t think about whether I would Lewis overtook. I just raced my race and reached my maximum today. I am very happy with the second place, especially after I did not finish the last race. "

3rd place: Lewis Hamilton

“Thank you to all the fans here who are at the race. There is no point in wasting words on penalties for boxing starts. It happened, I got a penalty and two points. And then I just finished the race where I am. Congratulations Valtteria for victory! ”
