The boss was back this weekend, and despite apparent fatigue in his times, Lewis Hamilton concluded his season with another podium in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
He reflects on his challenging weekend: \u00ab It’s not necessarily the step I wish to climb, but considering the last few weeks I’ve had, contracting the virus and not being at 100%, I am happy. It was a very tough race for me physically, unlike the rest of the season where I felt very fit \u00bb.<\/p>\n
The seven-time world champion still puts things into perspective: \u00ab The positive side is that I didn’t think I would be in Abu Dhabi a week ago, so I am grateful to be healthy, and I look forward to recovering even more in the coming weeks to return to my level for next season. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Hamilton also wanted to acknowledge his team: “I want to thank my team for their undeniable support, it’s great to give back to them by ending this season with a podium.”<\/p>\n
Author of his 165th podium in Formula 1, Hamilton finished by congratulating Red Bull: \u00ab Red Bull was unreachable for us today, they did a very good job. Max (Verstappen) in winning the race but also Alex (Albon) for putting pressure on us throughout the race. I hope that in 2022, and with the new regulations, the cars will be able to follow each other and allow us to have more fun races. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
