Hamilton: Wouldn't pit if knew second at risk

Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton revealed he wouldn't have made his second pit stop under the late safety car at the British Grand Prix had he known he would lose second place to George Russell.

Hamilton had been behind Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc when the race was neutralized in the closing stages following Max Verstappen's crash at Stowe in his Red Bull.

The seven-time world champion explained that knowing the potential consequence of pitting again would have changed his decision, as it ultimately resulted in him dropping behind Russell in the race order. realschule-moosburg.de
