Arriving to the waiting room before the podium ceremony, Hamilton said: "Wow, I've never been in here, so nice. It's a proper upgrade. I'm impressed.
"Wow, the sofa is even nice than the one in the press conference," he told George Russell and Kimi Antonelli.
Speaking to DAZN after the session, he added: "This is so fresh, so new. Just being on the podium, everything is new, all the colors are different, the waiting room is different, I'm like, 'oh, this is nice,'" Hamilton laughed.
