The Question: Lewis, coming to you: twice on pole here, you’ve got a win, of course, at this circuit as well. You said that your performance in Hungary was short of your own expectations, but you still managed to increase your championship lead. Does that kind of thing make you feel that this might be your year?
What Lewis said:
LH: Definitely not, definitely not. I think the team effort that goes in; seeing how hard my team is working, seeing the progress we’re making I think encourages me to believe that it’s going to be our year. You know you just have to keep your head down and you can't win them all.
What he might have meant to say:
LH: Absolutely, 100% definitely, yes. I mean I couldn’t believe it when after driving like a complete pranny all afternoon, I still managed to collect double the points my team-mate scored – and as always he drove a very sensible race. I almost felt like going down to Red Bull and hugging the Australian guy, the one with the teeth. Yep, no question, karma is with me, the stars are aligned, I feel very, very…. What’s the word, oh yeah, blessed!
