Elected driver of the day in Brazil<\/b>, Lewis Hamilton showed coolness and determination after his collision with Max Verstappen at the beginning of the race. He managed to finish in second place<\/b>, just behind his teammate George Russell, securing Mercedes’ first one-two finish<\/b> of the season.<\/p>\n
First of all, congratulations to George [Russell]. He drove exceptionally well and had a very good qualifying session yesterday. He truly deserves it. And I am very proud of my team, everyone at the factory and here at the circuit. It’s an incredible result, we have worked very hard this year to achieve a victory, so everyone deserves it fully. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n
The British driver also thanked the audience for their support after his pit stop, which boosted him to catch up. \u00ab Thank you to everyone, I had one of the best weeks of my life. You accepted me [as an honorary citizen] and gave me a warm welcome. I now want to come back here, also for vacations in the future. \u00bb<\/p>\n
