“So I really want to take my hat off to my team.

“A big, big thankyou to everyone baꦬck at the factory for continuing to push,ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ and bring us closer to the Red Bulls.

“They are still a bit ahead but we’ll keep cha♐sing them down.

“This is an amazing result. George did a great job as welღl.”

Rosberg had previously said about the Hamilton-Russell clash in qual♏ifying: “Lewis decided to go for it and overtake and George didn’t see him at all. So it’s kind of just unfortunate.

"But I think there will be some seriou🔴s discussions nevertheless.

“George apologised, which I think is right, but I think Lewis also n♊eeds to apologise becaus🎃e if Lewis goes through, George's lap is done. 

"Lewis woul🌸d be right in front and George would be stuck behind him and his lap will be ruined. It was his last try to get into Q3, so also Lewis needs to apologi꧋se later on.”
