F1 | Mercedes, Hamilton: “Today Niki drove and won with me”
"It was one of the most difficult races of my career," said the Briton
from Monte Carlo, Monaco
Very important victory for Lewis Hamilton from a championship perspective. The Briton extended the gap on Bottas, third today, proving once again that he is a really tough nut to crack for his rivals: keeping Verstappen behind for 78 laps is not easy for anyone, and he resisted the Dutchman's attack very well. in the end, although useless for the result.
“Today was one of the most difficult races of my career – Hamilton admitted. It was very intense: with 20 laps to go I thought I wouldn't be able to get to the finish, I thought I was going to the wall and I was fighting so much with the car, as the tires were finished and it was difficult to keep the car in track. I thought to myself: “What would Niki do?”. I was doing my best, giving everything I had and trying to stay focused so as not to make any mistakes. Niki was by my side, we managed to win: I wore his colors on my helmet and I didn't want to disappoint him. I wanted to give him my heart this weekend and I was determined not to collapse under the pressure."
