Reflecting on🤡 his top three finish in Barcelona, Hamilton told Sky Sports: “It’s been a really, really great weekend. What can I say? It’s been a minute since I’ve had a result like this. I am very, very happy. I feel a bit light which is nice.
“I had a lot of great support here actually which I feel over the years has grown. A big t🦄hank you to everyone that’s here and everyone that continued to stick it out with me. I had a really bad start which was unfortunate.
“Not quite sure what happened. I f🍬elt like I lost a bit of power in the second ♕phase. I was surrounded by the Ferraris which was not so easy but then to come back from there is pretty awesome.
“I thi﷽nk ultimately if I’d got the start I should have got I would have been much closer to those guys.”

“A late move, got up alongside𒈔, we we⭕re wheel-to-wheel. He was still on the track so I left him space as much as I could.”
