Lewis Hamilton: I took the risk, and it paid off.

      Lewis Hamilton finished third in the Miami Grand Prix sprint. During the rain sprint, the Ferrari driver was one of the first to decide to switch to slicks, and this move paid off, allowing the seven-time world champion to climb into the top three.

      Lewis Hamilton: "I'm so glad! It's been a tough season, but... I never thought it would rain in Miami. It was the first time we raced in the rain on this track, and what a race it led to!

      I had very serious problems with the intermediate tires. I guess everyone had problems. Closer to the finish line, I decided to switch to slicks. I thought I'd go after them because I was going to fall back anyway. I took a risk, made a bet, and the risk paid off.

      I would like the sprint to last a few more laps so that I can impose the fight on the McLaren drivers. But anyway, congratulations to them."
