Miami, Florida, might not wait to listen to sounds of optimism from a pilot from the Pedigrí by Lewis Hamilton after an end of eight places, while the Ferrari driver settled in the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday.
But optimism was exactly the word Hamilton used to describe his mental state after the race.
“In general, I had a good day in general,” Begen Hamilton speaking with the media, including SB nationAfter the Miami Grand Prix. “Eighth does not really seem like that, but I feel optimistic for the future.
“I think this car really has performance.
“But something is scrubbing at this time, which, we have lost performance from China. It is there, it is only that we cannot use it.
“So [until] We have a solution for that, then it is where we are. But in the meantime, we can work on all other things, processes, but as I said, I left last week. I felt that I generally had a better weekend. To get the third yesterday [in the F1 Sprint race] It was a positive. “
Hamilton also approached part of the radio talk that the transmission collected decisions lasting for the duration of the racing team, since both Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were fighting each other, and worked to chase the driver of the driver of Dowthes.
The seven -time pilot champion was asking Leclerc to leave it, since Hamilton’s medium tires were in a better window than Leclerc’s hard. After what seemed like a delay based on radio messages, Leclerc left for Hamilton.
In a moment before the exchange, Hamilton was caught in the transmission, which suggests that the team “take a tea break while doing it” while waiting for the exchange instruction.
But shortly after the change was made, Leclerc’s hard tires came to life, and felt that it had the strongest pace. He repeatedly pointed out that he needed Hamilton to increase his rhythm, since everything Leclerc was fighting was dirty air.
Possible, the call was made to return.
The numerous radio messages led to the belief that there was some frustration within the team, but as the director of the Frederic Vasseur team pointed to the media, including SB nationRadio messages shared in the transmission are in a delay, and we see a small fraction of the overview. Vasseur also emphasized that horses to see their drivers determined to win, because they are “champions” as he called them.
Hamilton made the same case.
“Everything was pg at least, right?” Hamilton joked.
“I still have that fire in me, in my belly. I can feel a bit like, really leave, and I will not apologize for being a fighter,” Hamilton added. “I’m not going to apologize for keeping it wanting it. And I know that everyone also do it. And I really believe that when we solve some of the problems we have with the car, we will return to the fight with the Mercedes, with the [Red] Bulls and they simply can’t get quickly enough, “but we will try something different in the next race.
“We will continue working on our processes.
“I hope a time when I may fight for a stage, it would be good.”
