Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes’s incredible performance was possible thanks to the cold conditions that the Las Vegas GP offered.
The Britton admitted that his feeling with the car was the best he has ever had this season, as he also stressed how, if he hadn’t made a mistake during qualifying, he could’ve probably won today.
Hamilton also underlined how the atmospheric conditions helped Mercedes achieve an incredible 1-2 and added that if the car performs like this in the remaining two races they will be able to challenge the other top teams.
“And if I’d done my job yesterday, it would have been a breeze today. But it’s okay. I had fun coming from the back, coming from 10th and the team did a fantastic job.
“We don’t know why we were so quick this weekend, but that’s the best the car’s ever felt. So I’m grateful to have been a part of getting it to that point.
“Maybe the reason that we did so well is because it’s cold. If we’re in a hot climate, that’s where we struggle the most.
“If the car drives like that in the next couple of races, then I think we’ll be in a good spot to challenge the guys up front. The championship’s done, so now it’s just an all-out fight for the best positions possible.”
