168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Rosberg believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s performance in the China sprint race showed the seven-time world champion is “d💯riving 🐽as good as ever”.

Hamilton led the first half of the sprint race in Shanghai before surrendering the lead to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

The Mercedes driver ultimately sec♔ured 💮second though - his best result of the 2024 F1 season so far.

Up until China, it had been a d𝔍ifficult start for the Ferrari-bound driver, picking up just 10 pointsꦦ - making it his worst start to a season ever.

However, H𝓀amilton was buoyed by the progress Mercedes has mඣade, even if he expects qualifying to be more tricky.

Assessing Hamilton’s performance, Rosberg said duriܫng Sky’s F1 coverage: “You could see that I think he wa𓄧s razor sharp. He was driving as good as ever. He was driving phenomenally.

“He was doing moreℱ than the car would have actually allowed to stay in front for so long also and to bring home such a great second place, super drive. Lewis at his best really which is great.”

Hamilton was overtaken by Verstappen into the🌞 hairpin on Lap 9 of t꧋he sprint.

Rosberg, who was commentating at the ꧅time, felt that Hamilton should have defended more aggres꧑sively.

While Rosberg backtracked on his comments after the race, he wanted to see a “fierce” b♛attle between the 2021 title rivals.

“There wa♔s no chance for Lewis to win that race so it made sense to let Max through. As a spectator, I would have loved to see a really fierce Lewis v Max battle so I just thought at least try a little bit more.”

“Everybody behind is on a similar level. The racing was just awesome. It was such an awesome sprint race - so cool, so much going on. The only difficulty is Max Verstappen’s pace. Just when he had the clea♈n air, it was insane how quick he is with that car. It’s another planet. That’s the difficulty.”🍨
