Mercedes F1 technical director James Allison has revealed his favourite memory from168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton’s time at the team.

Hamilton left Mercedes at the end of last seaಞson in orde♈r to complete a blockbuster switch to F1 rivals Ferrari, following 12 highly successful years with the Silver Arrows.

He won six of his seven world titles with Mercedes and claimed 84 of his 105 grand prix victories with the Germa🥃n manufacturer.

Interestingly, Allis💜on’s favourite memory of Hamilton is not one of his winning🌳 moments.

Instead, i♑t was an act of sportsmanship at t𝓡he 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix that Allison picked as his personal highlight of working with Hamilton.

Amid a title fight with Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel, Hamilton let then Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas pass him at the end of the race.

Mercedes had earlier swapped their cars via a team orders instruction to allow Hamilton to attack the leading Ferrari💧 pair, but when he could not overtake, the Briton slowed out of the final corner🔯 to let Bottas back through.

Hamilton gave up a podium finish and three extra points at a time he was 𓂃behind Vettel in the championship. Hamilton later went on to beat Vettel to 🙈the drivers’ crown.

And Allison believes that moment show💮ed Hamilton’s true character.

“It is hard choice that is because it is a rich gallery of experiences over these seasonꦬs,” Allison said.

“Although I am a Johnny-come-lately to the team, I have been there through thick and thin, through four drivers' 🍒championships with him and five constructors, so there is a lot to choose from!

“I tend to default back to Hungary 2017, where Lewis had been allowed to go past Valtteri to have a go at the Ferraris 🅷in front.

“He did not make the progress we had hoped, but then honou🉐red his pledge that if he were given a chance to fight the Ferraris and could not make it stick, that he would let Valtteri have the place back.

“The way that was conducted was extremely tense, extremely difficult to execute cleanly, because there was a lurking Verstappen there t💞hat made it really hard to do.

“Lewis did it and did it with real class. I think that showed the sort of essential fairness ꦅthat is in Lewis’ character, right alongside this sort of snarling competi🍬tor that we all also greatly admire.”
