Great feeling between Kimi and Lewis
It’s difficult to decide who among them Andrea Kimi Antonelli And Lewis Hamilton was happier at the end of the Chinese GP. The Italian driver won the first race of his career in F1 and cried, the English driver obtained his first podium as a Ferrari driver and showed clear and tangible satisfaction at having finally obtained a top-3 in the red overalls.
Hamilton praised the Mercedes driver by underlining that he was privileged to be able to witness the growth of a new rising star in F1 and Antonelli underlined in the press conference that when Hamilton won his first F1 victory in Montreal, Canada in 2007 he he was one year old (yet to be done to be precise).
“Ah! It’s crazy – Hamilton responded regarding the generation gap between him and Antonelli – but it’s really nice to see him emerge and to see talented young people who really deserve it get to the top, it’s really fantastic.”
