In Hungary, both Mercedes drivers took the podium and only lost to Max Verstappen…
Lewis Hamilton (2nd): “There were some problems at the start of the race, I wasn’t sure if I could overtake the guys, but the balance gradually changed for the better and I had a really good start. I am grateful to the team that continues to fight and never gave up in this difficult season.
For the second race in a row, both our cars finished in the top three, this is a special event for us, and George was just unlucky today.
The rivals still have an advantage, but we are gradually closing the gap. We leave with a good mood for the holidays. I hope that in the second part of the season we will make even more progress and fight with the leaders.
I was hoping it would rain in the last laps and I could challenge Max, but we ended up on a dry track.
If I had qualified better yesterday, if the DRS hadn’t failed on the fast lap, we would have been fighting for the win today, but two second places in a row is an excellent result. I’m very happy. Many thanks to the fans for their support.”
George Russell (3rd): “It was raining before the start and when I got Soft tires I thought I had to change them quickly, but closer to the finish problems started when I was riding Medium and it started to rain again.
The progress of the team is clear. Yesterday we won the pole, today – a double podium. I am proud of the result of our work.”
