About the conquest of the pole position in Budapest, and his first after more than a year and a half, spoke Lewis Hamilton.
The British driver emphasized, among other things, that he in no way expected this development, but in the end he gave everything he had and he made it. In addition, he mentioned that he does not know if he will sleep at night, while he also commented on her hard time that Mercedes passed.
“It’s been a crazy year and a half. My voice was drowned out by the voices in the car. It’s a great feeling. I’m grateful to be here because everyone in the team has worked so hard all this time to get pole. I feel like it’s the first time. Coming to the track today, I didn’t expect that I would fight for the pole position, but in the last attempt I gave it my all. I didn’t leave anything.
It was a big challenge for everyone in the team. There were ups and downs, but none of us lost faith. We stayed together and focused on finding the right direction to improve the car. Today we were losing time in turns 4 and 11 and I went full throttle hoping to stay within track limits. But this period was difficult. And it will continue to be but I hope this pole confirms that we are on the right track and that we will succeed if we keep pushing.
There was a big difference in the balance of the car going from tire to tyre. But with all three the feeling was good, although in the end, the feeling with the soft one was excellent. It was important that we finally had a neutral car in handling. It’s difficult to have the perfect balance at all corners with this generation of cars and I think we managed to do that today. Congratulations to the team, we did a great job.
I don’t know if I’ll sleep tonight. Tomorrow we will fight as hard as we can, we will do our best as a team. These two will be hard to deal with. Lando is doing a great job and it’s great to see McLaren back in the fray. As for Max, you know him, he’s always there.” were his words Hamilton.
