Sunday’s German Grand Prix [https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2019/Germany.html] was a race to forget for the Mercedes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes] team and Lewis Hamilton. However, they did manage to salvage two points for Lewis Hamilton, though he nearly failed to finish. Hamilton was already having a wretched day with two spins and wrecking his front wing in the first spin. Luckily, he was just across the pit entry, the bad news was that the Mercedes team were caught completely by surprise as they were not expecting him to pit. As a result, the British driver lost nearly a minute in the pits. https://twitter.com/OdemzG/status/1155589339600117761?s=20 After a second spin dropped him behind both Williams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/williams/], he probably couldn’t be blamed for wanting to spare himself the embarrassment. When the team called him in to pit, he simply wanted to retire the car. However, the team was having none of it and told him to stay out. In all honesty, Hamilton lucked out when the Alfa Romeo duo were penalised and he earned two precious points, along with a delighted Robert Kubica [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/robert-kubica/]. The two points were a welcome bonus, considering that Valtteri Bottas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valtteri-bottas/] crashed out.
