Lewis Hamilton: “The glass is all full right now”

Another success for Lewis Hamilton before the summer break which will send the Circus on holiday for the next 4 weeks. An important victory not only because it was won from the enemy's home Nico Rosberg, but because Lewis has now further widened his lead over him: the Briton thus freezes as leader of the ranking before the summer, with 19 points over the German. Impeccable start, perfect tire management and spot-on strategy: despite a weekend that started behind Rosberg, Hamilton thus sets another seal and begins the climb towards the second part of the season.

"I feel great! I'm very happy, honestly,” said Hamilton. “The glass seems completely full to me right now. When I think that I was 43 points behind at that moment I couldn't even imagine being in the position I am in today. But I kept keeping my head down and pushing and now I'm in front. It's crazy to think about it and this shows that I never give up, just as I have done in my life because you never know what the future holds for you."

“Now there's this break and I have a good advantage to act as a cushion. Today I had a great pace so I want to continue like this. My best friends are here, we will travel a bit together, we will have fun and we will also work a little, but in general the priority will be fun", concluded the pilot with his mind already on holiday Mercedes.
