TIL Desk Sports/ Six-time formula one champion and Mercedes racer Lewis Hamilton opened his account for the 2020 season as he romped home to a fine victory at the Styrian Grand Prix. Following his win, Hamilton stated that the Red Bull Ring circuit in Spielberg is one of his ”weak circuits” and that is why he is more happy with the podium in the second race of the year. This was only his second win at the circuit, having earlier won in 2016.
“This is one of my weak circuits so to get a performance like this today, I”m over the moon,” Hamilton said. “I”m so happy, but I also know there is a long way to go. “Last weekend was definitely psychologically challenging. To have the penalties, being called into the stewards before the race and get a penalty, and another later in the race… that was definitely not easy.
“All you can do is channel the energy and focus on the future. So I stayed here, trained, ate and slept well. I worked hard with Bono (race engineer) and the guys to understand where last weekend went wrong and correcting it,” he added.
