The events of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will always be a sore memory for Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton delivers home GP masterclass

If there’s anyone on the current F1 grid who can come up clutch when it really matters, then it’s the Brit. During his home GP, the 7x champion started from 7th on the grid. Without the best machinery in the class, the Brit still stormed, albeit with the help of a lucky late Safety Car, to a history 14th podium at the British GP.

Hamilton reflected on his race by saying, “After I went down to P9 at the start, I honestly didn’t feel too good either. But I had some fun trying to come back through. So, hats off to the team for our strength in the race day. I didn’t expect to be on the podium. So this is mega to be able to share with these guys,”?as quoted by Sky Sports F1.
