Andrea Stella Believes Lewis Hamilton Denied Lando Norris a Podium Finish

"It's a matter of one or two seconds, then having lost the time with Lewis."

"Obviously Lewis, you know, he knows very well how to race so it took a couple of attempts to realize that he [Lando] needed to overtake Lewis in corner one."

"That was, ultimately I think, as you say, impactful for Lando's chances of winning the podium, but you know, I think there will be many ifs here and there."

"I think the biggest if is testerday with a good qualifying, what we could have done today, but this [the race] is in our hands. This is under our control."

"We just have to be head down, feet on the ground, and improve."

While Lando will be lamenting his missed opportunity to capture a race win, the team overall managed to increase their constructors' lead to 77 points, and now its top two drivers are leading the Drivers' Championship as well.

Lewis Hamilton finished the race in the same position where he started, as he only found his pace during the final laps and was unable to catch up to the Mercedes cars ahead of him.

Hamilton struggled during his early stint on the hard tire and had to manage for most of the race. However, his defense against Lando helped his teammate Charles Leclerc secure the team's first podium of the season.
