As positive as always, Hamilton reflected on a weekend where the odds were against him. “It’s easy to get down when you are faced with difficult things like penalties and engine penalties. But everyone just stayed positive, everyone has done such a great job. The mechanics did a fantastic job. And the strategy also was solid…  But did I think we could come from last… I didn’t know what was possible but I just gave it everything.”
