π¨| Lewis Hamilton sharing some details on his 2025 pre-season injury: "It is private, but I hit the wall very hard last year in testing and knocked out a disc in my neck, which went into the nerve."
"I couldn't do a lot for like nine weeks. I was just having chiropractors every day, physio every day. I couldn't sleep. Was on painkillers and had to get injections. I did everything I could to try to fix it. So that's that's what I was basically trying to live with, which is not easy in the seat position that you're sitting in."
George Russell defending Lewis Hamilton: "People were writing him off last year or even the year we were team mates in β24. You know, βIs he too old? Is he this? Is he that?β And then he goes and heβs been smashing it for the last four or five races. It just shows that you donβt forget how to drive overnight. You need yourself, your team, the set-up, the understanding of the tyres, everything just to click. And when it clicks, you fly. So thatβs where he is at the moment and for sure he is a big threat."
"Ferrari are a huge threat. Kimi is still very much the driver out front and is performing really incredibly and consistently. But yeah, Ferrari feel like theyβre coming and Lewis is at the forefront of that."
"Everyone's come up to me like this past week, you know, 'how did you celebrate?' And I'm like, I didn't celebrate. My celebration was reposting everybody's videos. And then I saw these videos of kids and so many of my fans just watching the race and how it meant to them. And that, for me, made that day a thousand times bigger than it would have been if it was just a normal, normal win. Because I know that they're my ride or dies."
"I've always said we win and we lose together because it's far bigger than just me in the car. I've got my whole team. I've got people that travel around the world. And I remember when I was a kid before, even, you know, when I first started racing and I never, ever thought that I would have anyone but my, my mom supporting me, you know? So over the years, as you start to see people decide to choose and come on the journey with you and you see that grow and grow and you have a community, everyone in life is going through something and battling and we all support each other. You know, it's really, it's really the most amazing thing."
"I think my parents can't believe the support and love that, that we get. My mom's so proud and grateful to everybody. And I think for me to see the young kids, particularly, be excited and wearing the, wearing the red top as well, you know, it's really, really, really amazing moment."
