“And he’s been driving really amazing this year and this weekend especially.
“I’m pleased to be standing on the podium with him, and also with this guy [Hamilton] as well.
“It was a tough battle. We both had really bad starts again and the Ferraris shot past.
“But, at the end of the day, getting a one-two again is all we could ask for,” he concluded.
