Following the rac🔥e, Hamilton app🃏eared to respond to his critics from the previous round with a subtle riposte.

“Hopefully you have some good things to sa💯y,” Hamilton said.

“I’m so, so happy. Firstly the spirit of the Tifosi, wow, it was unbelievable๊. So grazie a tutti, thank you to everyone coming out. Very special for me to see the sea of red.

“I didn’t know what to expect this weekend, how many people would turn out. But it looked like one of the bigꦛgest crowds we had here, and to see so many people… There’s a huge Ferrari flag exit of Turn 7.

“It just felt vintage. It felt like back in the day when I was watching Michael [Schumacher] here and it was really great to experience, so I cherish that experience.✤”

“I 𓆉definitely didn’t expect to finish fourth today,” Hamilton continued.

“I didn’t know where we would be come given we were so far back but the car 🍒really felt great, the team did a fantasti🅰c job with the strategy - they were faultless.

"I think we're slowly getting there and I think me and Riccardo [Adami] did a fantastic job with his communic🎐ation with me.

"I was calm, so then I think he♈ was calm, and the team were calm and executing the strategy, and the pit stops were awesome.

"So overalꦦl, mega. I was hoping for some extra laps. Obv🍷iously the Safety Car lost them or we could have maybe fought for a podium."
