Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen both finished in the top three at the Spanish GP. Verstappen emerged as the winner in a close race, while Hamilton secured his first podium of the season. The two drivers, who were rivals in the past, shared a lighthearted moment before the post-race press conference.
During the press conference, Hamilton put on his sunglasses and joked, “I’m going to take a nap.” This humorous comment came after Verstappen arrived and commented on Hamilton’s age. The 39-year-old driver praised Mercedes for their recent improvements, which contributed to his podium in Barcelona.
Hamilton acknowledged that Mercedes has made progress in closing the gap to Red Bull and McLaren, the teams with the best performance on the track. However, he emphasized the need for continuous effort and improvement to catch up with the faster teams. Despite his current eighth position in the drivers’ championship, Hamilton remains optimistic as Mercedes shows signs of improvement for the upcoming races.
