168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton was “suffering” during his lengthy streak without an F1 vi💎ctory, a period of time which was “eating him up in🦹side”, it has been claimed.

The seven-time world champion ended a 945-day wait to claim his first victory since the 2021 Sa🃏udi Arabian Grand Prix with a fairytale win at the British Grand Prix two weeks ago.

Sky Sports F1 pundit Naomi Schiff believes Hamilton found his victory drought - and fallout from his controversial title loss to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in Abu Dhabi 2021 - hard𓆏er than "we maybe even realised”.

"I think what caused that huge impact was the outpouring of emotion that we saw from Lewis. Obviously ⭕since what happened in Abu Dhabi 2021. 945 days since his last grand prix win,” Schiff said♕ on Sky Sports.

"I don’t think we maybe even realised how much he was suffering from ℱthat. I think we all assumed, we thought we could understand, but I think that raw emotion that we saw from him just showed how much it was eating him up inside, to not be able to come back and have revenge with a car that he could fight with.

"When you hear someone who is a seven, eight, whatever you want to call it, time champion doubting them🍎selves and their ability, you know that moment has had a massive impact on his confidence, on his tho💎ughts of his own ability.

“He’s questioned himself. It’s sad to hear that’s the case but it just shows no one is bulletproof. We 🤪know how much that meant for everybody. It was great to have him that moment back.”

Schiff added: “It did feel like there was something in the ai𝓰r after Austria already. George won there. You could feel some꧙thing in Lewis was a little bit off.

“He was so desperate to get that back. It all just came together beautifully. You could see his excellen꧟ce and experience coming out in his decision-making along the way."

After claimi🦂ng a record ninth win at Silverstone, Hamilton admitted he had begཧun to doubt whether he would ever win again.

"He hadn’t won for a long time,” fellow Sky pundit Anthony Davidson said. “He had seen h♏is teammate win in that time as well, since 2021. It wasn’t Lewis ౠthat got the victory in Sao Paulo, it was George. And he’s been out-qualified comprehensively by Russell this season.

“He’s getting older as an athlete. I’ve been there myself. It got to the point where I retired because of it at the age of 42꧅ because it felt like it was all becoming a bit difficult. Damon Hill described it beautifully, it’s like a tube of toothpaste. It’s still in there but it gets to𒐪 the end, but you have to squeeze a bit harder. I thought it was the perfect analogy.

"Therefore it cast that element of doubt - I’m not winning anymore, my teammate is beating me, have I still got it? He ope💛nly admitted it. I like that vulnerability. The crowd wanted it, the team wanted it, he wanted it, his parents were there, it was 🐲just an explosion. You couldn’t write it. It was absolutely brilliant stuff.”
