Dominated by emotion when he got out of the car and was greeted in the pit alley by the entire Mercedes team, the Bolognese driver spoke honestly before the microphones to review the road to the title and the tension experienced during the weekend:

“We have achieved it. Without Mercedes and my family I wouldn’t be here.”

“I am extremely grateful for this moment and it is something I will remember forever. I am speechless right now, I am trying to process everything that has happened”

“Sharing the podium with two of the best: ‘Of course. It’s been an incredible season and sharing this podium with Max and Lewis is really incredible, and now I’m looking forward to more fights in the future.”

“This weekend was a little more tense, but I am very happy to have finished the job and now to enjoy the rest of the season”.

His consecration not only rewards an impeccable year, but also confirms the arrival of a new star willing to stand up to the big names on the grid in the coming years.
