Speaking to Sky Sports after the race, Hamilton reflected on it: “When he said it was ‘Hammer time’ I did notice in the moment ‘that’s the last I’m going to h🥂ear that. It really clicked for me in that moment.

“Really, really hard race. Naturally from where I was. I didn’t get as great a start as this one here, ♈my new teammate [Leclerc]. The first stint was really difficult. I wasn’t losing hope.

“I was just like ‘oh, not going as well as I thought it would’ but I didn’🍌t give up, kept pushing. I was like ‘come on, we can get there’. Switched o𓂃nto the different tyres, and the car came alive.

“I had a massive gap to close, so just focused on getting absolutely everything from the car 🔯and not giving up.

“Wanted to finish on as much of a high, 🅰give every ounce of me to the team as they’ve given to me all these years.”
