After the British Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton congratulated his “family” at McLaren, and said Mercedes is “not that far away”.
Lewis Hamilton finished the British Grand Prix in P3, behind McLaren’s Lando Norris. After the race he congratulated his former team.
“A big congratulations to Lando and McLaren,” Lewis said.
“It was my family, it is where I first started. So to see them back up there, looking so strong… That thing was rapid through high-speed corners! Wow, I couldn’t keep up.
“We had a good little battle on the restart. Once he went through Turns 13, 14 and 15, he was gone.
“We had good performance in low-speed, we had a good little battle but I just didn’t have the grunt on the straights.

“But to start seventh and come third is a mega job. A big thank you to my team – great pit stops and great work all weekend.”
Ultimately, Lewis thanked the British crowd and said he believes Mercedes can “catch” McLaren and Red Bull.
“Once again, Silverstone put on an amazing show, we have got the greatest crowd here, so a big thank you to everyone for supporting. I felt the energy, the support, which is the reason we got back up there.
“The start wasn’t great for me but the long run on the Medium was really great, so I think this is a good positive for us as a team to know that we’re not that far away.
“We have got to keep on pushing and we can catch those guys up front,” Hamilton concluded.
