Lewis Hamilton says he had to press “every button” on his steering wheel to overtake Charles Leclerc because his Mercedes F1 car was “very slow” on the straights.
The highlight of Hamilton’s race came on Lap 40 when he pulled off a spectacular pass on Leclerc to grab second. Hamilton bravely dived down the inside of Leclerc’s Ferrari and almost put his wheels on the grass to get the move done.
“In general, we’re quite draggy on the straights, more often than not, but this weekend, like yesterday we were losing two and a half tenths just into turn one before we even started braking. "I wasn't thinking it was going to last," he said about that final stint on the mediums."But I did some real sweet finesse. I was trying to drive like you.”
