Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - 1nd place
“First of all, I would like to draw attention to the fans who are present at the race again after a long time, albeit in limited numbers. It was really nice to see the British flag in the stands. The start of the race was very tight and at Red Bullu made the most of it. Then I set out to catch Max and somehow managed those extra few laps, and we already had the strategy set for two stops in the pits, which was due to good preparation for the race. I am very grateful to the team for a job well done. ”
Max Verstappen (COM)Red Bull Honda) - 2rd place
“In fact, it was expected that what happened to us would happen to us today. We were competitive on soft compound tires, slightly less on medium. When I heard Lewis wrap up in the pits for a new set, I knew it was the end of the dream of winning, which in the end also proved to be an inevitable fact. We are closer than last year, but still quite far from what we would like. ”
Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) - 3st place
“The race didn’t start to my liking as I lost a spot against Charles Leclerc in the third turn because I just didn’t see him. Overall, I was satisfied with the speed, but more than third place due to the events in the first round, unfortunately, could not be achieved. "
