#BahrainGP 🇧🇭 | Kimi Antonelli on Lewis Hamilton:

“With Lewis, I think we’ve seen many, many times, many years, that even when things go badly, he always keeps his head down and tries to do his best to achieve the best result possible.”

#F1 | The delay on the restart of the Bahrain Grand Prix was due to a software update that teams had to load into the car. ‼️

Q: “On the restart, there was a long delay after the initial start was suspended. Were you guys told why there was that delay? Because the track was basically dry when we got racing again. Was it to do with the weather or something else?”

Hamilton: “No, but it was because they had to update the software and then you have to load it into the car. I guess some had some faster laptops than others.”

#BahrainGP 🇧🇭 | Lewis Hamilton asked if he’ll have open dialogue with his team after the race:

“Yeah, of course. Yeah, we’ll definitely have an open dialogue. And, you know, I’m really so proud of my team.”

“The mechanics every weekend, just the work they’re putting in, the engineers that come here every weekend, the catering, everyone really, really comes and gives it their best. Their heart’s all in the right spot.”

“We’ve definitely got areas that we need to improve and we know that, and we’re not in any denial of that. So I think we’ll have a constructive chat, we’ll regroup, we’ll take the positives from this weekend, which the car was really good, and we’ll come back next week fighting. I thought today, as I said, was a chance for us potentially to try and fight Max for the win, but maybe we can do that next week.”

#BahrainGP 🇧🇭 | Lewis Hamilton talks about the race start and going on slicks:

“Me and my engineers were here till, like, 11:30 last night just going over everything, and I really, really felt today was the opportunity to have at least a good battle with Max.”

“But then, obviously, the rain came, the big panic with everyone when we all lost power. And particularly, my power didn’t come back and I had to stop on track and restart the car. And then we all ended up in the pit lane.”

“Thankfully, we all got back to our positions, but then after that there was such a long wait and we were debating on what tyre to go on to. And I said, “Look, there was a lot of spray on the laps to the grid.” And I went into the pit lane, I looked at the ground, I was like, “It’s still wet.” I went to the pit wall and I was like, “It’s still wet.” And they’re like, “Yeah, but because it’s been so long, it’s definitely going to dry up real quick and maybe we’re already in the crossover.””

“So, anyways, as a team, we ended up taking that soft and when we were at the end of the pit lane and these two took off their blankets and they’re on inters, we were in trouble. And as we pulled out, all the spray came out the back of Max’s car and I was like, “Okay, I’m done. My race is really in trouble.””

“We just had to stick with it. Like, we’ve made the decision and live with it. As everyone’s overtaken me, they’re like, “We stop,” because I know we’ve already made another 26 seconds. What’s the difference from that with one minute 40 or whatever I was down? So I was just, “Let’s just wait it out for the track to dry.” And once it did, it felt good that I was catching people.”

“The car felt great then after that. Really good pit stops from my guys in the garage and then good strategy. But for us to get back to the podium, I never thought that that was going to be the case. But, of course, I’m really, really grateful that we managed to get back here.”

P3-P4 after that fucking disaster of a race from the Pit Wall.

Remember that Charles was last and had damaged his front wing with the slicks on a wet track

Lewis stayed out on the softs on a wet track.

No power in either car.

Charles wasn’t listened to during the formation lap. He wanted to box for inters, Ferrari said no.

Ferrari stopped Lewis for mediums, even though they were the worst tyre.

P3-P4 IS A MIRACLE. MAMMA MIA

Everyone on the team except these two should be questioned. We have two of the best drivers, but we’re letting them down with our strategy and planning.

This hurts.
