In the race, however, Lewis had a relatively bad start and ultimately dropped from P1 to P4. He then proceeded to apologize to his team over the radio.
Schumacher says this move is a sign of “greatness”.

“Immediately after the mistake he apologized to the team – that shows greatness,” the German concluded.
