“This has been an amazing crowd,” Hamilton sꦇaid. “Definitely a bit awkward this time around, boos all day.
“Nevertheless, I have so much love for Mexico and the people herಞe. What a great race and event they’ve put on this weekend.”
Hamilton started on the medium tyre as Mercedes gambled on a different strategy to Red Bull in their bid to end their winless drought, but it failed to pay off when a switch to harꩲds didn’t work out.
Both Hamilton and Mercedes teammate George Russell were unhappy with their hard tyres in the second stint, with Verstappen and Perez go💮ing soft-to-medium.
The Briton revealed he wanted t🌼o start the race on softs, matching the s🎃trategy of Verstappen and Perez.
“I was so close in that first stint,” Hamilton explained. “I tꦅhink Red Bull was too fast today, I think ultimately they had the better tyre str💛ategy.
"I’m not sure it was the right tyre in the end. I thought we should’ve started on the Softs, we had the oppo🏅site tyre. It was OK in the first stint, but that Hard tyre was just an offset.
“Congratulations to Max, it’s great to beꦑ up here separating the❀ two [Red Bull cars].”
