After a fantastic result at the Spanish Grand Prix, a visibly happy Lewis Hamilton gave his thoughts on the race.
“It’s been a really, really great weekend,” the Briton told Sky Sports F1.
“What can I say? It’s been a minute since I’ve had a result like this. I am very, very happy. I feel a bit light which is nice.
“I had a lot of great support here actually which I feel over the years has grown. A big thank you to everyone that’s here and everyone that continued to stick it out with me.
“I had a really bad start which was unfortunate. Not quite sure what happened. I felt like I lost a bit of power in the second phase.

“I was surrounded by the Ferraris which was not so easy but then to come back from there is pretty awesome.
“I think ultimately if I’d got the start I should have got I would have been much closer to those guys.”
Lewis also gave his thoughts on an incident with Carlos Sainz on Lap 19, where the two drivers touched while Lewis was performing a fantastic overtake.
“Pretty awesome for me. I think it was clean. Ultimately, he didn’t cover the inside fully. He left the door open which I went for. A late move, got up alongside, we were wheel-to-wheel.
“He was still on the track so I left him space as much as I could,” Hamilton concluded.
