Lewis Hamilton says he was “cautious” with his set-up in Britain, “more thinking to have a nice balance in the race rather than all for one particular lap“.
After George Russell and Lewis Hamilton put their cars in P1 and P2 for the British Grand Prix, Lewis says a front row lockout is “massive” for the team.
“It was a great session,” the Briton said.
“Naturally, the best session that we’ve had as a team to just have the real pace and be able to actually compete with the McLarens and the Red Bulls, I think is incredibly satisfying, just really a huge boost for the team.
“And the car felt great, as George was saying, a huge congratulations to George for getting the pole.

“But to be on the front row, I think, is massive for our team. So many of them are here this weekend with their families. And it’s been a long time since we’ve had it. So this is a great feeling.”
Lewis also added his car was set up to be faster over the long run, so it should be better in the race than in qualifying.
“Well, I think I was cautious with my set-up, more thinking to have a nice balance in the race rather than all for one particular lap.
“So I do think that the car will be good tomorrow,” Hamilton concluded.
