Reflecting on the race itself, Hamilton w𝄹as pleased with his recovery from 13th on the grid to finish sixth.

“I don’t know about the strategy,” he add⛦ed. “I don’t know🧸 if that was optimum. Maybe it was.

“It was definitely difficult at the start, being in the DRS train with a bunch of cars, and trying to get past the Williams which is always quick on the straights. E💜ventually I was able to start making headway.

“Onౠce I’d done my stop, and got back out on the hards, I was able to really push.

“Theღ car came alive ෴midway through the race. From 13th to sixth, I’m pretty happy with that. I enjoyed the race, I had a lot of fun, just making my way through. It’s nice to have a battle with people.

“Thank you to the t🍃eam for keeping their heads down and continuing t༒o push."
