After a dramatic race that saw Lewis Hamilton spinning out on Lap 3, the seven-time world champion took the opportunity to reflect on the moment and what led to the costly mistake. Speaking candidly to reporters post-race, Hamilton broke down the sequence of events that unfolded during those tense few seconds.
“Yeah, it was a tough moment,” Hamilton began. “Coming into Turn 5, I felt the grip starting to go. The tires weren’t up to temperature as much as I would’ve liked, and I could feel the rear starting to step out. It was just one of those things where I tried to correct it, but at that speed, it’s easy to lose control. Before I knew it, I was facing the wrong way.”
The spin proved pivotal for the Mercedes driver, dropping him several places down the field and complicating his race strategy for the remainder of the Grand Prix.
“I had to stay composed after that,” Hamilton added. “In these situations, you have to move on quickly and focus on the next opportunity. Mistakes happen, it’s part of racing. The most important thing is how you respond to them.”
Hamilton went on to recover several positions throughout the race, showcasing his resilience and experience under pressure, but the early spin ultimately cost him a shot at the podium.
“Of course, I’m disappointed with the result today, but that’s racing. We’ll look at the data, figure out what went wrong, and make sure we’re stronger next time.”
His ability to analyze the moment and bounce back reflects Hamilton’s trademark determination, a quality that has helped define his legendary career. As always, fans can expect the British racing star to come back even more focused in the next race.
