F1 | Hamilton: “This race seemed eternal to me, I'm happy it's over”

Unstoppable Lewis Hamilton! In the night of Marina Bay the pilot Mercedes wins his seventh victory of the season, increasing his lead to +40 points Hag in the world rankings. After the dizzying pole on Saturday, the four-time world champion didn't miss a beat even in the race, worried only for a moment by the Red Bull halfway through the race… Here are the words of the Briton at the end of the day.

“It was a tough race but I had a lot of support here from the fans. The start went very well and the team never gave up and stopped believing in me, in Valtteri and in our qualities. It was truly a blessing today, a race that felt like the longest of my life - I'm glad it's over. Max fought very well and gave me a hard time... but what a weekend! I feel truly privileged."

“On lap 38 I think I had a bit of bad luck with the traffic: whoever was in front of me moved from one side to the other… Max was in a good place on the track at that moment and the others didn't let me go. He got really close, my heart stopped for a moment, but then I managed to get out, I pushed as hard as I could and I remedied the situation."

"Ferrari fought a lot this weekend, I don't know why they disappeared like that in the race, but we have to do our job."
