- Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) emerged as the dominant force on the track.
- Starting from the 7th position on the starting grid, he finished the race in 7th place.
Reflecting on the challenging conditions, Hamilton commented, “The weather made it extremely difficult out there, and every driver was giving their all.”
Regarding the incident with Sergio Perez, Hamilton stated, “I believe the contact was simply a racing incident. I held my line for more than half the time, but unfortunately, we ended up colliding.”
While the penalty he received was unintentional, Hamilton minimized its impact by saying, “In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a significant setback. In a sprint race where scoring is limited, the difference between fourth and seventh place does not carry much weight.”
Despite the challenges faced, Hamilton remained optimistic about his performance, mentioning, “Our pace is solid, and if it wasn’t for the issue on the last lap, I would have been in the mix for front row battles. Unfortunately, that was not the case.”
Looking ahead to the main race, Hamilton expressed his determination, stating, “Tomorrow, we will start from the third position, and my aim is to fight against Ferrari and Perez.”

“The conditions were very difficult and we are all doing our best.”
“I think the contact with Perez was a racing incident. I was in line for more than half the time, but in the end I made contact.”
“Of course it was unintentional but I got a penalty. In the end it’s not a big difference. The difference between fourth and seventh in a sprint where you don’t score many points is not a penalty.”
“The positive thing is that the pace is good. In today’s shootout, if it wasn’t for the problem on the last lap, I would have been in front row battles. I didn’t.”
“Tomorrow we will start third and hopefully we can fight Ferrari and Perez.”
