I went pretty fast in practice but we couldn’t respond on his last lap, which was fantastic.

But we are in a good position, I want to think that our tires are the best for tomorrow and I hope to have a good race. “So Lewis Hamilton after losing the battle for pole with Verstappen for the Abu Dhabi GP, who tomorrow will award the F1 drivers world title.

The Briton from Mercedes reiterated that he would probably not have done a faster lap: “I lost a lot of time in turn 5, but the last lap was totally clean, I couldn’t go faster. I don’t know if with the preparation of the tires I would have I could have done something better, but I think I couldn’t beat that time anyway. Max clearly deserved pole. “

For tomorrow’s race he is not demoralized, despite the importance of starting in front of everyone on the Yas Marina circuit: “I’m still on the front row. There will obviously be a difference for the tires” since Hamilton will have the medium and Verstappen the soft , “and in any case I see it from the start, so we will try to regulate ourselves on that too”.
