British he also conquered all the competition in the far west of Europe and, in addition to the already mentioned record of victories,we are in this season. Exclusive theoretical possibilities they are yet to get his teammate out 7th title.

Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - 1nd place

“The most wonderful thing about this racing team is that no one gives up even for a moment. Everyone is constantly striving to be the best and that is incredibly inspiring to me. ”

“Before the start, they said it would probably rain, but there were only a few drops left. We were prepared for this in terms of setting and adjusting the strategy. Then in the first lap I went insanely crazy in turn 7, from then on I deliberately drove slower. I thought: my moment will come later. ”

British towards the end of the race he also struggled with cramps: “I had problems with cramps in my right leg so I always withdrew my leg from the gas on the plane first because I noticed the cramps coming back. But I couldn't drive the whole lap without adding gas, so I had to grit my teeth. ”

When they are Hamilton recalled that he is now also a record holder in terms of the number of victories achieved, he said: “At the moment, I don’t know what to say about it. This is a very special day in my career and I am so happy that my father and stepmother are here in Portugal to share this moment with me. ”

“Honestly - when I decided on Mercedes, I naturally hoped for success. But I would never expect so many victories and titles in my life. We really get the best out of every race. ”

Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) - 2st place

“The first rounds were very good. It was raining very lightly. I had a feeling that cars with soft tires performed slightly better in these conditions. So Sainz also overtook me. It took a while for my medium hard tires to warm up and then I actually did pretty well. ”

“I don’t know exactly what happened to me then. Lewis was simply faster, there was nothing I could do. I tried to attack, but there was simply no speed. ”

“Actually, my plan was to extend the ride a bit more and then try my luck on soft tires. But honestly - I don't think that would change anything. "

Max Verstappen (COM)Red Bull Honda) - 3rd place

“The grip on the asphalt was very poor, which caused me quite a few problems, but I tried to drive my race. I think we are where we should be in terms of our starting point and just today's show. "

“At first I had a slight contact with Sergio, but he didn’t leave me enough space, so I couldn’t do much. After the first lap, the situation was not very clear to me, as both McLarns just flew past me. I was even more surprised when I saw Räikönnen in the mirror. He was probably helped by his experience from rallies, ” he remarked playfully Dutchman.
