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 spri💟nt race showed the𒆙 seven-time world champion is “driving 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 secured sec⛎ond though - his best result of the 2024 F1 season so far.

Up until Ch🅘ina, it had been a difficult start for the Ferrari-bound driver, picking up just 10 points - making it his worst start to a season eve💦r.

H﷽owever, Hamilton was buoyed by thඣe progress Mercedes has made, even if he expects qualifying to be more tricky.

Assessing Hamil💟ton’s performance, Rosberg said during Sky’s F1 coverage: “You could see that I think he was razor sharp. He was driving🦄 as good as ever. He was driving phenomenally.

“He was doing more 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 the sprint.

Rosberg, whoꦚ was commentating at the time, felt that Hamiltonꦓ should have defended more aggressively.

While Rosberg backtracked on his comments after the race, he wanted to see a “fierce” battle between the 2021 titl🌳e rivals.

“There was 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 clean air, it was insane how quick he is with that ca🥂r. It’s another planet. That’s the difficulty.”
