“So I really want to take my hat off to my team.

“A big, big thankyou to everyone back at the factory for continuing to push, and🌺 bring us closer to the﷽ Red Bulls.

“They are still a bit ahead b🌄ut we’ll keep chasing them down.

“This is an amazing𝐆 result. George did a great job as well.”

Rosberg had previously said about the Hamilton-Russell clash in qualifying: “Lewis decided to go for it and overtake and George didn’t see him at all. So it’s kind of just unfortunat🔯e.

"But I think there will be some serio👍us discussions neverthel🀅ess.

“George apologise🐻d, which I think is right, but I think Lewis also needs to apologise because if Lewis goes through, George's lꦡap is done. 

"Lewis would be ♕right in front and George would be stuck behind him and his la🍰p will be ruined. It was his last try to get into Q3, so also Lewis needs to apologise later on.”
