Hamilton relieved: "Nervous that we would get repetition of Silverstone"

Lewis Hamilton has again achieved a dominant victory in Belgium. After the victory in Spain, the Briton was once again able to drive his Mercedes to first place. The driver of Mercedes takes the maximum points again and takes another big step towards his seventh world championship.

"It wasn't the easiest race I've had. I've had several lock-ups as the tyre temperature slowly dropped. That was hard to deal with. I was pretty nervous that we were going to have a rerun of Silverstone, but it looks like the tyre is still good," Hamilton said after the race.

"I don't think this is what everyone wants to see every week, Mercedes in the front row. However, there is a great mentality at the factory, no one celebrates there after a victory, they are looking for improvements for the next race. I'm 35 now, but I feel better than ever," said the British driver.
