🗣️'Having those battles is way more fun than starting first and pulling away. It's a different challenge, but I much prefer the battling with people.' Lewis Hamilton says he enjoyed his charge from 19th to fifth in Formula 1's Italian Grand Prix ⬇️
After starting from the back due to an engine penalty, Hamilton had a frustrating first lap in Monza and was still 19th at the end of it.
"And so starting today, just having those battles is way more fun than starting first and pulling away. It's a different challenge, but I much prefer the battling with people."I love the idea of moving forward, so today I felt like I climbed up a ladder. Progress is a good thing."Photo by: Glenn Dunbar /Hamilton explained that he picked up some damage to a front wheel"eyebrow" on the first lap, but maintains he"didn't touch with anybody" to cause it.
Hamilton admitted to some frustration that the safety car meant that he couldn't challenge Sainz at the end, although conceded that the Ferrari driver would have a tyre advantage.
