Lewis Hamilton puts himself into title fight with first Ferrari victory
Russell conceded afterwards that he would have, adding that he felt his former teammate was now in this title fight. “The pace today was insane from Lewis, so yeah, they [Ferrari] are coming, I think,” he said.
It does look as if Hamilton might be at least. This was his first win in 686 days (since the 2024 Belgian GP), his first time crossing the line in first place in 707 days (since the 2024 British GP), and it leaves him 41 points behind Antonelli in second place in the championship, with Russell a further nine points behind.
Hamilton appeared to be choking up over the radio as he returned his car to the pits.
“Grazie tutti to everyone at Maranello,” Hamilton told his team as he returned his car to the pits. “I can’t thank you enough. I’m so proud of you. And to my family, I love you. And to my fans, thank you for reminding me who I am. I couldn’t have done this without you.”
