Lewis Hamilton after qualifying: “The whistles just make me stronger”
It was under the whistles of the Hungaroring public that Lewis Hamilton came to lift the pole sitter’s trophy. A few minutes before, the Briton set the best time of this qualifying session in 1.15.419. A round that satisfies the seven-time world champion.
“It’s a great qualifying lap, I’m very happy with it, exclaims Hamilton. The whole team worked fantastic this weekend, Valtteri included. The guys at the factory helped us develop the car in the best possible way. It's amazing to see how united we are. »
The end of Q3 was marked by the very slow pace of Lewis Hamilton in his opening lap, blocking the Red Bull behind him. Sergio Perez was therefore unable to cross the line in time to make a final attempt. If nothing prohibits it in the regulations, the end of Q3 was not appreciated by the fans in the stands who whistled Hamilton during the interviews.
“I don’t care about the boos to be very honest. All it does is make me stronger. »
The Mercedes will also be the only ones to be on medium tires in the top 10. They will thus be under pressure of Verstappen from the start. Hamilton estimates a gain of “5 meters” for drivers with soft tires when the lights go out.
