Hamilton: "Reliability is one thing my team have been amazing at"
In his 300th Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton achieved his best result of the 2022 F1 season by securing P2. Hamilton shared the podium with his younger teammate and Mercedes gained a huge amount of points on Ferrari in the Constructors Championship following Charles Leclerc's crash from the lead.
It wasn't the best of build-ups to the race, but Mercedes once again took their chances following issues ahead of them. Leclerc's mistake bumped Hamilton up to P2. Whilst he couldn't chase down his 2021 title rival, he managed to comfortably take second place.
"That was a tough race, my drinks bottle didn't work. But what a great result, considering we've been so far off this weekend. Reliability is one thing my team has been amazing at. George did an amazing job as well. Budapest, I love it there. It will be hard to beat Ferrari and Red Bulls. Hope we take a step forward to them with another update," Hamilton said in the post-race interviews.
No drink
With temperatures in the 30s, it was a very hot race. A challenge for the tyres with surface temperatures at around 60c, but also tough for all drivers. Hamilton didn't have a drink of water and explains how this alters his weight.
"I didn't see my weight but I imagine about three kilos. It's enough. I am looking forward to downing the rest of this drink," Hamilton added.
Seen Hamilton laying on the floor under Verstappens feet !! Where he belongs .Hamiltons always the victim even he’s more dehydrated than the others !
Was just waiting for the trolls to show up. Didn't get disappointed :)
A good troll exhibits some intelligence....sadly the new lot are just crude...
Stop with the childish insults. Have some respect for the elders and a legend. He was on the floor before max got there. Guess you have no trolling to pull off about his performance today so that was all you could come up with.
On the floor waiting for the lion ? Even better he knows his place
Oh yes, a 7x world champion at an illegitimate champion's feet.Wow, what a sight.Dream on orange bellend.
Mark ( the commentator): Here is another comment that is openly disparaging Hamilton. Why is it not deleted? Just saying
Reliability gest you points, now they need to get the performance up. P2 p3 let's get them .
A team that was 0.810 a lap behind the leaders gets a 2nd and 3rd. Once Merc get this very reliable tractor sorted out, this driver pairing will unstoppable!!!
Waiting for someone to accuse merc of cheating by being reliable....nothing surprices me here anymore
