Lewis Hamilton says his recovery drive to sixth place at the F1 Dutch Grand Prix felt like “redemption” after a “terrible” qualifying.
The seven-time world champion was left with a lot of work to do in Sunday’s race at Zandvoort after he could only manage 13th in a disastrous qualifying, having suffered a shock elimination in Q2.Despite finding himself at the very back of the field at one stage, Hamilton impressively fought back to salvage a strong sixth behind Ferrari’s“It didn’t start off that well but I’m happy with the drive that I did to get back into the points and get sixth,” Hamilton said.
Hamilton believes Mercedes “paid the price” for pitting him too late during an early downpour, which he thinks cost him a better result.
