The younger brother of the British racer did not hide his disappointment. “He was disappointed by the sport to which he sacrificed so much,” wrote in a post on Instagram, in which he described Lewis as a true champion. “The FIA ​​has broken its own rules, which is a disgrace to our entire sport. Nevertheless, despite being mistreated today, the Hamiltonians were humble at the time of the defeat.

My father, the man who raised us, congratulates Max and his father. People can say what they want, but my father’s gesture proves that all doubters and enemies are wrong and shows who we are as ‘Hamiltons’. Proving that people are wrong is in our DNA, which Lewis does every day. With complete professionalism and decency even at the time of defeat, ” he added.

After the loss, the Mercedes driver retained his elegance and, in addition to thanking the team members, he recognized the qualities of Max Verstappen. “First of all, congratulations to Max and his stable. However, I am proud of my own team, we gave it absolutely everything. I’ve been feeling great in the car for the last few months. We’ll see what happens next year, ” stated after the race.
