Lewis Haౠmilton has hit back at critics for “yappingﷺ” following his first win with Ferrari in the F1 Chinese Grand Prix sprint race.

After resisting an early charge from Verstappen, Hamilton opened up a six-second gap over168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Oscar Piastri by the end of the race.

It’s a remarkable improvement from Hamilton and Ferrari, who ꦰstruggled during the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

Speaking af𝕴ter his first win in Ferrari red,൩ Hamilton took aim at some of his critics.

“Today I woke up feeling great. The weather is beautiful here in Shanghai. We know we haꦰve this amazing c꧙rowd,” Hamilton said.

“The first race was difficult and I really do feel that a lot of people underestimated the steep climb it is to get into a🐭 new team, to become acclimatised within the team, understanding and communication. All sorts 𝐆of things. The amount of critics and people I have heard yapping along the way just clearly not understanding, maybe because they’ve never had the experience or unaware.

“It’s felt great to come here and feel more comfortable in the car because in Melbourne I really didn’t feel comfortable in the car. From l🐓ap one this weekend, really feeling on it.

“We’ve done a great job with the engineers, the mechanics have done a great job to really fine-tune the car. It felt great today. I got a good start and there’s so much grip on this tarmac s🐲o it’s hard to look after these tyres - but everyone was struggling the same.”

A “masterclass” from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton

Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle lauded Hamilton for his drive in Chiꦑna, labelling it as🃏 a “masterclass”.

“It w🌸♛as a masterclass. Got it off the line and that was where the race was won, even in Qualifying yesterday actually,” Brundle added.

“He got track position and was throwing hot, turbulent air towards your rivals on a day where tyres ar🦩e beyond the limit.”

Remarkably, it’s Hamilton’s first sprint r♏ace win, having failed🍬 to win any of them during his Mercedes stint.

Simiꦇlarly, it’s Ferrari’s first-ever sprint victory.
