Hamilton: It’s Was A Conspiracy By Other F1 Drivers, To Get Me On The Worst Grid… Explain Crash Woe During The Qualifiers

Hamilton had another dissapointing day at Austria GP that yielded eighth place – a gain of one position from his starting spot – and a solitary point after he spent most of the time staring at the back of Mick Schumacher’s Haas, having suffered contact with Pierre Gasly at the start – and then with a Red Bull and Williams further up the hill.

“I don’t understand these drivers. Just like moving across, I don’t know if they know they’re moving across, but it was just unnecessary. He had so much space on his right. So that’s uinfortunate for sure and I got some sort of damage there. I don’t know exactly what but it was a big hit to my front and I’m just greatful I could continue and then I got another one further up, by the Williams and the Red Bull did the same thing. Schesh.”

“Extremely disappointed. We started in the top 10 and then before the first corner it was already over.” “I think that the fight with Lewis (Hamilton) was quite fun. I think we … it was surprising to see that we were able to fight him that long. Also the Red Bull behind us wasn’t massively quicker. It was a nice feeling.”
