Hamilton, calm and composed as always, answered it with logic and offered some insight into how good he’s been in the Q3 this season.
“If I told you, I’d have to kill you. I think everyone, we are under immense pressure,” Hamilton stated. “I’d say probably experience helps massively in order to know how to regain your focus. Because only one millimeter out and you’re way off. You are making mistakes.
“It is a real real challenge and I always don’t get it right. But I’m really really grateful today, I was able to. I think in general that’s probably been real strength though. I don’t know if it’s always been that but taking this year obviously qualifying Q3, I’ve managed to set myself and deliver.”
