With his victory at the Eifel Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton caught up with Michael Schumacher in most of his F1 wins. The six-time world champion, after being knocked down, didn’t even really understand what he had accomplished so far in his career, and confessed: he never expected that would be so close to the legendary racer’s records. Nico Hülkenberg, who replaced Lance Stroll over the weekend, was surprised by the race, but pleased with the way he performed after his sudden jump, while Daniel Ricciardo spoke about his reception with Cyril Abiteboul and what kind of tattoo would become the head of the Renault team.

Lewis Hamilton With his 91st career win, Michael Schumacher broke that record, and if he reaps another win in the future, which, despite his form this year (too), has a good chance, he will be the most successful F1 driver of all the times. Hamilton received a special gift from the son of the seven-time world champion after the knockout, so it’s no surprise that the Mercedes driver was sensitive to his accomplishments.
“I do not know what to say The hit For Hamilton. “You grow up watching him race and of course you admire his skills and what he can accomplish with his team year after year, race to race and week to week. I’ve watched him dominate for so long, and I don’t think anyone, especially me, would have thought he’d ever come close to Michael on his records. It’s a great honor and it will take some getting used to. When I entered the pit lane in the morning, I realized that today I could equalize, that is, set my record. But when I crossed the finish line, it didn’t occur to me. I couldn’t have done all of this without my amazing team. Everyone continues to work hard and give everything. “
I really didn’t know Max verstappen to compete with the Mercedes, but after Bottas was eliminated, the Dutchman finished second. According to Verstappen, there was a realistic result in terms of Red Bull’s abilities and he could be happy about one more thing at the end of the race.

“We finish second, that is, where we belong The Dutch pilot admitted. “Overall, I think it was a good race.” I tried to follow Lewis, especially since Valtteri retired. I think our pace was good and we tried to do our own race. The Mercedes was too fast, but for the last few laps I have been driving with it and seeing what happens. I managed to run the fastest lap and got an extra point ”.
For a long time, after the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix, he was able to get back on the podium. Daniel Ricciardo. For the 30th time in his career, but for the first time with Renault, the seven-time winner of the race was able to shine, so it is understandable that his joy was truly clear.
“I haven’t been on the podium in a long time, so it’s a bit like I’m here again for the first time. After two and a half years, it is a really refreshing feeling and I am very happy. We have been waiting for this result with the team for a long time, so we will definitely celebrate it. ” – said Ricciardo, who also noted that based on his reception with team leader Cyril Abiteboul, the Australian rider is already beginning to think about what kind of tattoo his boss should get in memory of the podium. As for the bet between the two, Abiteboul can choose the location and size of the tattoo, while Ricciardo can choose the pattern.
“There will be a tattoo, there is no question, I just have to figure out what it should be and obviously there will be a pattern that somehow refers to the site.” Ricciardo said.
In vain he started from the edge, finally he left without a point. Valtteri Bottas From Germany. The Mercedes driver first lost the lead to Hamilton and then had to abandon the race due to an engine problem. Bottas regrets this too because he was confident that he could win back his teammate’s first place after his wheel change.
“I was unlucky, what else can I say? The Finn asked the poetic question. – During the virtual safety car restriction, I started to lose engine power, which didn’t even come back later. Until then, I had a lot of fun. I did well too and we had a good fight with Lewis. There was no way he could make it easier, so he was happy that he could maintain the leadership. Later on, my wheels locked in every corner and I lost my position, but that way I was able to get out earlier on new tires that I felt good on. There was no question that he could keep up and the cut could come out well. “
Nico Hulkenberg not long before the timekeeper learned that after the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, he could also take part in the Nürburgring race. It is not particularly guilty that he only managed to qualify for last place, but it is quite appreciable that he managed to carry Racing Point to eighth position with four points from the bottom of the pack.
“I am very happy with everything Hülkenberg said after his home run. “I didn’t do very well, but I expected it.” In the first round, however, I managed to improve a few places and then I was able to focus on myself. I was able to find a rhythm with the car and drive to the border. I was able to do this in about the middle of my first stage, and also managed to pull those tires for a long time, so I think the long stretch of the first stage was the key to a successful result. Obviously I wasn’t expecting it, but I’m thankful that I finally made it and I’m very happy about it.
