"Unfortunately, he didn’t feel like he had done it, so he also didn’t realize he was going to have problems. At the point where he braked, the brake balance shifted forward so that all the load was on the front wheels blocking. From then on, he could do nothing but drive straight," so Elliott, who says he talked about the case with Hamilton. "I know Lewis feels a little guilty about this, but in reality Lewis has made so few mistakes and that’s what really sets him apart from other racers."

In the team Mercedes there are already plans for the next race GP of Franceto find a suitable solution. “It is our duty to try to give him a race car where he will find it harder to make mistakes. In doing so, we need to do our part and see how we can improve on that and that’s also something we’re going to do for the next race," Ends Elliott.
