Hamilton: We need to work more and close the gap.
Lewis Hamilton started from pole in the Saturday sprint, but couldn't match the speed of Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes during the race, finishing second.
Lewis Hamilton: "It was a tough race – I tried for a long time to keep the Mercedes behind me. As soon as he got within less than a second of me, I knew that at some point he would get ahead.
Yesterday I said that such a situation was quite possible, and obviously due to the strong wind – there was a very strong headwind on the back straight – he just drove past.
I pushed the throttle as hard as I could, gave it my all. But congratulations to Kimi, and we have to work to close the gap."
