WINNER LEWIS HAMILTON
Honestly, I approached the race with an incredibly
positive attitude and approach so I didn’t at any point
think I hope the car doesn’t fail on me. I was only feeling
positive energy rather than letting any negative energy
come in. Of course, those last three laps the car was
feeling good, I had turned down my engine on the last
ten laps or fifteen laps. Those last three laps, I knew I
had a good buffer between me and the cars behind so I
didn’t have to lean on my tyres, it became kind of really
nicely flowing and trying not to take too much notice
of the crowd and then get carried away with it. That’s
generally the feeling but it wasn’t until I came into the
last corner that I knew that I had it. I was like I’m going to
roll across the line if anything happens now and again,
I could see the crowd cheering from Stowe onwards, I
could see them already beginning to stand up and cheer
in the excitement and I felt exactly what they felt. And on
that down lap, once you come across the line, it’s just
the most amazing feeling, when you come across the
line as the winner of the British Grand Prix. I’m sure it’s
the same in Germany for Nico, for example. You just
want to jump, go jumping but you’re obviously strapped
into the beast still.
