🗣 'Once I get that confidence in that car, the pace will come out' 👊 Lewis Hamilton says BakuGP performance showed his 'hunger is still there' 👇 F1
Hamilton insisted that he tried to put his disappointment behind him for the restart.
“I couldn't get bogged down in that frustration and ‘I've lost all those positions’,” he said. “I just had to keep my head down and get focused on attacking, and that's what I did.“Really continuously proud of my team for just keeping their head down. We didn't have the pace that we had in the last race, which is obviously not the greatest. But there's no lack of motivation in this team.
“We're all super hungry, we're just working towards getting those upgrades. So I think this is the beginning of something hopefully better in the next coming races.” At one point during his chase of Sainz, Hamilton asked the team if it could find him more power as he struggled to keep pace with the“I mean, they're just a little bit quicker on the straight than us I think,” he said. “Even with the DRS open, he was fast down the straight. And then just following through that mid-sector wasn't so easy, but I gave it everything.
“A driver always wants more power. And I think ultimately they shortened the DRS this year down the straight, I don't quite know why they did that. We've always had great racing where the DRS was. By the time you switched the DRS on, it was too late.”
