Lewis Hamilton remains optimistic about securing a podium finish at the British Grand Prix, despite qualifying in P5. The seven-time World Champion expressed satisfaction with the improved feel of his car during qualifying and believes a podium is still within reach at his home event.
A Glimmer of Hope After Qualifying
Hamilton showed promising pace throughout the weekend, topping the charts in the first practice session and setting the fastest time in Q2, igniting excitement among his fans at Silverstone. However, he couldn't replicate that performance in Q3, ultimately settling for fifth place.
Reflecting on his final lap, Hamilton admitted, "The lap was pretty decent at the end and then I lost a bit of time in the last corner, which probably would have put me on the front row or at least third. We were right on the knife edge I think, other than that squeezed everything I could out the car."
Adapting and Improving
Hamilton emphasized the positive strides he's made in adapting to his SF-25. "I definitely feel a lot better in the car this weekend. This track is incredible, the crowd’s been amazing but we needed just a little bit more, like another tenth of performance in the car just to nudge us a little bit closer to the front guys."
Silverstone Podium Dream Alive
Despite the qualifying result, Hamilton is determined to fight for a podium. "Of course, I’ll dream of it tonight and I’ll try and execute tomorrow," he stated. He also anticipates unpredictable weather conditions, which could further shake up the race.
