Before today's race in Interlagos no one has yet won from ninth place or lower in the standings. But with victory Hamilton this series is over. In an interview after the race with a former contender for the title of champion right at this racetrack Felipe Massa was Hamilton overjoyed.
“First I feel what it was like to be here in 2007, I am grateful for the support. I haven't had it since Silverstone. It’s been hard since then, but hearing it all through this weekend has been humiliating. The team did a great job, Valtteri Bottas did a great job to get as many points as possible. I pressed as hard as I could, it was one of the hardest weekends I’ve had. My father reminded me when I had already done something similar. When I came this weekend, I didn’t think we were going to fill the gap we have. Then things went against us, but we must not give up, and today we proved it, ” he finished Hamilton.
