No question either of “We win together, we lose together” in the mouth of Toto Wolff, who had had great difficulty in justifying the radio exchanges of the Turkish fiasco, two weeks earlier. We go to Mexico and Brazil, circuits where Red Bulls are usually very fast.“, he concluded. We are taking race by race but the next ones will be really tough for us. Where to find the 12 points he lacks to be in place of Max Verstappen, at the head of the World Championship. He’ll have plenty of time to think about what’s next. The team did a great job and I’m happy with my performance. “I don’t know what we could have done differently, LH44 assured the Dutch publication De Telegraaf. He was proactive and he will be able to go to bed in peace. Sunday night, Lewis Hamilton was at least relieved not to have to answer the same questions as in Turkey, amid doubts about the feasibility of his race plan. “If he had been in the lead from the first corner, he would have been the whole race”, he assured Ziggo Sport, the television of the Netherlands. Without that, he would have had an extra role. Leading from the start was the condition to exist against Max Verstappen. Lewis Hamilton maximized the potential of his W12 by doing the “holeshot”, as they say in the motorcycle world.

Jenson Button probably only stirred up his regrets by believing that he had followed the best strategy on Sunday. It’s like they have better rear end, slightly less slip than us.” More talkative than in Turkey, where a strategic bet had made him fail in fifth place, the ace of the German team developed his point on the English antenna of Sky Sports: “They were faster than us this weekend for whatever reason. A big thank you to my team for the great pit stops and hard work all weekend. I got off to a good start and gave it my all. “First of all, congratulations to Max, he did a great job, answered the English hot, at the microphone of his former world champion teammate at McLaren, Jenson Button. In the last 18 laps, his new “hard” tires allowed him to pounce on his rival who had changed them eight laps earlier, but he was never able to make the junction. He delayed his first stop by three laps compared to the one anticipated by Max Verstappen (on lap 11), then came out 5 “5 behind the car, which he chased to the end without success. 1, leading the peloton in the first stint. Especially during the start, which he executed perfectly while firmly holding his position slightly forward in relation to the RB16B n ° 33.
