“I’ll take anything I can get,” Hamilton sa🐲id. “When you think about it, wౠe are having to rely on others currently. So when you have Checo in the wall it’s like ‘thank you!'”
“Ocon came out of nowhere, “He did obviously a great lap. I was really hopeful Fernanꦛdo [Alonso] would have pole at the end. I saw it💞 and I was like, ‘oh, this could be amazing for him’. But that Red Bull was just too quick.
“But that Aston is now almost on par with that Red Bull, that’s phenomenal work. So I’m really happy for Aston and I hope t🗹ha🌄t we can be there soon.”

“Our middle sector has been where we’re losing out all weekend so far. So I made a change over into qualifyin✱g which made it harder in the fir𝐆st and last sector. You can’t always have your cake and eat it.
“But I struggled to get temperature into the tyres in the session and so it was always that last, last lap that I🐻 ma✅naged to just pull something out.
“But my heart was in my mouth because it was like there could be a yellow flag, could be a red flag, who knows? But we made it throꩵugh and I’m grateful for the lap we got.”
