Hamilton full of praise: 'Just a remarkable job by everyone in this team'

Lewis Hamilton overcame a tough battle with Max Verstappen today, winning the Spanish Grand Prix with an overtake on Lap 59. Hamilton was chasing the Red Bull driver for a large majority of the race but was able to claim victory with a two-stop strategy which caught Verstappen and Red Bull out.

"I was just hunting. I was so close for so long and I didn't think in doing that I was going to be able to make the tyres last. But I just managed to. It was a long way to come back from 20 odd seconds back but it was a good gamble, a really great strategy from the team," Hamilton explained after the race in an interview with Sky Sports.

Talking with Jenson Button after the race, Hamilton explained his confliction at what to do."I was about to have a shot at getting past him before I pitted right at the end and I was really conflicted. Do I come in or I do ignore the call and stay out? Obviously, I did what the team asked and naturally, that's because there's a great trust between us."

Despite being involved in a tough battle all race with Verstappen, Hamilton explained how he was feeling after winning the Spanish GP. "I feel great. I feel I can go again. Obviously, the training is working and paying off. Such a close start there was a lot of rubber down on the right-hand side and the Red Bull had a great start."
