[@chaos1464]

The sheer might of the Mercedes workforce in consistently delivering improvements to the car to the point where we are at the sharp end of the grid is seriously impressive. Kudos to you guys on doing an unbelievable job. Now we have done incredibly well at Budapest in the last two seasons with back to back quali poles so here’s to Lewis matching his record this weekend with win 9 there and breaking into double digits of poles at a single track with pole 10

[@F1Guy-Guy]

It all came together when Bono hinted HAMMER TIME!

[@razakmohammed5202]

what he said was....its our time, that was when they put the inters on.

[@RehanX44]

he didnt even say hammertime it was different, he said 'it is our time' meaning him and lewis it was those two together in that moment

[@musicalchicken1024]

He didn't say hammer time because hammer time means push like a madman. But you don't want to push because you don't want to ruin the soft tyre.

Great win and great job over the last two races. I'm so glad to see the hard work and strategy of outpacing the other teams in upgrades are working. Question: Why does Lewis continue to look like he’s driving on ice at a quail pace? That seems to be affecting his pace and his confidence in the car. I’d like to see both drivers deliver at their full potential. Thanks.

Have to credit the team on an incredible turnaround this year.

Lewis also inherited the win because McLaren Bottled their strategy twice in 1 race. It was an Easy 1/2.

@@indcredible7839 Are you really serious? the same equation you are regurgitating from the fickle media could be made about Hamilton... What if Mercedes had put him onto the hards? Norris was not supposed to be close to the Mercs the rain bunched them up he was already seconds behind before the rain. And despite all the attempts to say George would have won Hamilton simply tucked in behind him at the start so he could use his draft and save on tyres and to have first dibs at the DRS George would have been beaten by Hamilton whether Mercedes admitted this or not.

@@kings_chronicle592 I'm as happy about Lewis winning as you are, but let's not kid ourselves into believing that this is a race winning car. If McLaren didn't bottle their strategy they'd have easily won the race. Oscar Piastri's data clearly showed that, he was the fastest car in the race on track outside that lap where they foolishly didn't double stack, and if they gave Lando mediums he'd have likely been faster. Unless we improve, we will only have to rely on Redbull and McLaren to gift us wins.
