Lewis Hamilton: You’ve got a great crowd here in Baku
Baku, April 29, AZERTAC
Four-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes team has hailed fans in Azerbaijan.
“You’ve got a great crowd here,” he told a press conference following a qualifying race in Baku.
“We did the best job we could. Jeez, I think I was up three tenths until Turn 15 and then I came across the line two tenths up, so I lost a little bit in the last sector. But regardless, Sebastian did a good job. They were quickest all weekend. They’ve obviously got a phenomenal car this year. But really happy with the job the team did to get us from where we were yesterday to where we are today. Valtteri did also a great job. We’re in the mix. This is the fifth-best track to overtake, I think. It doesn’t mean it’s impossible but I’ll try to give Sebastian a hard time tomorrow.”
“Down the straight particularly it’s hard to keep the car straight. You’re getting crosswinds in between buildings, so you’re constantly correcting the car, but the track has been great today, so I appreciate everyone in Azerbaijan for having us,” Hamilton said.
