Lewis Hamilton performed well in the qualifying session of the United States Grand Prix. Yesterday in Austin, the Mercedes driver secured the third position on the grid, finishing 0.139s behind Charles Leclerc’s pole position (Ferrari).
The experienced seven-time champion took the opportunity to thank the team, stating in a statement: ‘I have to say a big thank you to everyone at the factory. They have been working so hard to improve our car and we got one step closer to the front this weekend. I know everyone is working flat out for it and I appreciate all the efforts. Unfortunately, we weren’t at the top, but we will try again on Saturday’.
Extolling the audience and the Circuit of the Americas, Hamilton emphasized that he hopes to be in the fight for the top spot once again this Saturday: ‘I love being in the United States! It’s such a beautiful country and this circuit is simply amazing. It’s definitely one of my favorites. It has a legendary layout, it has bumps, and all the drivers find it very challenging. Each section is an incredible challenge. I hope that on Saturday we can fight for the first position again. I will give my best and with this audience, everything is possible’.
