The seven-time world champion was left with a lot of work to do in Sunday’s ra🍌ce at Zandvoort after he could only manage 13th in a disastrous qualifying, having suffꦏered a shock elimination in Q2.

Despite finding himself at the very back of the field at one stage, Hamilton impressively fought back to salvage a strong sixth behind Ferrari’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz at the end of a chaotic and rain-♎effected race💜. 

“It didn’t start off that well but I’m happy with the🐬 drive that I did to get back into the points and get sixth,” Hamilton said. 

Hamilton believes Mercedes “paid th🌊e price” for pitting him too late during an early downpour, which he thinks cost hꦛim a better result. 

“But it could havꩲe been higher, for sure, if we had made the right decision at the end of the day.

“We should have pitted, obviously, and we didn’t and we paid the price for that, and we did ou🔯r best to come back.”

But Hamilton wa🌠s satisfied with his personal performance to overcome a disappointing Saturday.

“I ✃feel like today was redemption in a sense that it was terrible yesterday and I’ve managed to dial the car in a bit better today,” he✨ added.

“I overtook a bunch of people and to start 13th🍸, I was dead last at one time, so to get back up to sixth, I’m happy with that.”

The result leaves Hamilton fourth in the drivers’ championship on 156 points, 12 behind Aston Martin’s168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Fernando Alonso. 

Mercedes teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell sits seventh, 57 points adrift of Hamilton.
