F1 | Belgian GP, ​​Hamilton: “I am grateful to the team and the guys at the factory for their support”

There was no story in Spa either. Lewis Hamilton in fact led and won the Belgian Grand Prix without any problems, a success which allowed the Englishman, as well as the reigning world champion, to consolidate his leadership in the World Championship by taking his lead over teammate Valtteri Bottas to 50 points.

The Englishman, commenting immediately on his 89th career victory, two shy of Michael Schumacher's record of 91, declared: “It wasn't the easiest race, I had a block at turn five which started to give a bit of vibration. The tire temperatures were slowly dropping no matter how hard I was pushing, as you lose rubber and you start to lose temperature in the tires. I was a little nervous about having another Silverstone".

Hamilton then added: “No matter how much success we get, we have to keep our heads down. Now when I get back to the office there are no kids celebrating, but we wonder how we can win the next race. It's an incredible mentality. I'm really really grateful to the team and those at the factory for their continued support".
