Lewis Hamilton has managed to secure the third slot on the grid for the Mexican GP and has indicated, that he is proud of the work, that the team has done in coming up with a competitive package.

Lewis Hamilton was on the money during all three qualifying sessions as he was able to put in strong laps regularly and at the end of Q3 managed a P3 grid slot for himself.

While talking about his exploits during the post-qualifying interviews, Hamilton added, “The first one was quick enough for second… I don’t know, but wasn’t quite good enough and the Red Bulls are naturally so fast. This is a great showing and I am so proud of my team. This is the best qualifying all year.”

“Generally, my laps have been pretty good. I think the last lap wasn’t good enough and it still had performance in it. I am happy with my position because it is a long run down to turn 1.”

Lewis Hamilton, while he is happy for the team, he has, however, indicated that a bit was left on the table as according to him, he did not have the best last lap and there was performance left in his W13.

After the end of the Mexican GP qualifying, it has been confirmed that Lewis Hamilton will start tomorrow’s race for the second row and has got his teammate George Russell and Red Bulls Max Verstappen starting ahead of him.

However, despite starting the race in P3, the Brit will have every chance of leading the cars into Turn1, as, from the start, it is an extremely long dash until the first corner, and this is where he would have a chance of getting the jump on Verstappen and Russell during the Mexican GP.

Moreover, the W13 has worked extremely well throughout the weekend and is going to give Hamilton the extra push in order to get the ‘W’ at the end of the race.

Considering Lewis Hamilton has not managed to win a single Grand Prix during the 2022 F1 season, would he be able to change that at the end of the Mexican GP?
