Lewis Hamilton: I Loved Fighting Through the Field | Post Race Interview | Belgian Grand Prix 2025

Well, that was really exhilarating to watch Lewis from the pit lane start to 7th. Did you enjoy that a good bit better today? Yeah, I mean I always love races like that where you're challenged and having to make your way through the field. That's really kind of like how my life started in racing at Righthouse. Because we had not such a great go-kart and we'd always start at the back. So, very reminiscent of that sort of thing and great work by the team. Ultimately, you know, disappointed to have had not such a great weekend. Definitely want to forget, but at least I've still got some points. And we outscored Mercedes collectively. But yeah, I've got to go back and you can't always get it right. And there are lots of factors that contributed to Friday, Saturday. Which, again, some factors, but ultimately me. And then, obviously, recovered a little bit today. But big thanks to the team. I'll try and come stronger next week. I think I know the car a lot better now with all the changes that we've made. So, I've got a lot more confidence in it. Lifting and coasting, you had to do a bit of that at the end. But for that, could you have attacked Alex Alwin a bit more? Maybe right at the end I would have been able to attack him. But we under-fuelled. We basically under-fuelled, I think, for the win we had. Just very quickly, I know you went to see young Kimi Antonelli. He was having to fill your position at Mercedes. He's very young. You feel for him. You know maybe what he's going through, being a young man in that position. I can't imagine what it's like at 18. Or try to imagine what it's like at 18 to do what he's doing. I think he's been doing fantastic. He hadn't even had his driving licence when he first started racing. I think it's a lot on someone's shoulders. I think he's doing a great job. He's got a great group of people around him. I think you've just got to take it in your stride. Which I think he is. As I said, he's got Bono by his side of him. He wouldn't have anyone better. I'm aware of it.
