Lewis Hamilton: “All victories are special in their own way, but this one is completely different”
It is Lewis Hamilton's 106th Grand Prix victory and makes him the 41st driver to win for Ferrari. At the end of the race, the Brit gave an emotional reaction.
“Thanks to my team at Ferrari. Last year I started with a dream that seemed impossible, but I didn't give up hope. I made so many changes.
All victories are special in their own way, but this is something else entirely. I watched Ferrari have all the success when I was younger, I always wondered what it would be like to win with that car and it came true. I am eternally grateful to themthis is the first of many for them, the car felt fantastic.
I'll be back to get ready, I've been training hard, so much work behind me. We're slowly starting to see how things come together, I'm just happy in my life, in a good place, I love doing what I'm doing, nothing better,” said Lewis Hamilton after the victory in Barcelona, according to independent.co.uk.
