Lewis Hamilton: Post Race Interview | British Grand Prix 2025

Unbelievable. It was really one of the trickiest, one of the trickiest days I can remember having on particularly here as well but I mean Silverstone always throws something special into the mix but the car was was really really hard to drive. In which way? It just has no stability so you go to the corner and it's snapping snapping snapping snapping it just won't stay it won't stay still and that makes it so so difficult and then in the low speed it just doesn't it doesn't like to turn so yeah it's a really frustrating balance because you're trying to make switch changes and all these different things and ultimately it led to lots of mistakes and also I think our strategy we ended up losing a lot of positions well three or four positions and that made the race even harder so but we still got some points we came back and take those and move forward to the next race and hope for some better results. You lost the podium can I say another time because it was in front of you but is there something that that is positive this weekend for you? I think what's positive this weekend is practice I was right there I was much more happy with the with the car balance in the dry and then in qualifying we were much much stronger I'm much more feeling much more comfortable with the setup direction we're going it doesn't it's not good for those conditions necessarily but yeah so I think there's lots of positives and I think also on a race like this whilst it's not great you get you can download a lot I feel like I know how to explain to the team what I don't want built in next year's car because what we have right now makes it all so difficult to drive particularly in these conditions I mean I know it's difficult for everyone out there but that was the trickiest. Just help us understand what that actually feels like for you what how much of a challenge that is? It's the worst feeling it's not a great feeling I tell you it's when it's when you just can't sit back and just be confident the rear is gonna you can lean on the rear and when it's constantly snapping you just have no confidence so the ultimate goal is to try and build up confidence in the car and then get faster and faster with this every time you it's like building a goal is to try and build up confidence in the car and then get faster and faster with this every time you it's like building a wall and then knocking it down building the wall knocking it down so when you can't build that confidence then you're not really going anywhere you're kind of in no-man's land so that's kind of how I felt for most of the race. Good luck today thank you
