It’s interesting to hear from you Lewis that you were just thinking about yourself with the pace. Unnecessarily that was compromising my race, because driving slower than was maybe necessary at the beginning of stints meant that Sebastian was very close to me and that opening up the opportunity for Sebastian to try that early pit stop, to try and jump me. I was unnecessarily close to Sebastian as a result and it cost me race time as a resultHamilton responded by saying: "It’s not my job to look after Nico’s race. My job is to manage to car and bring the car home as fast as possible and that’s what I did. I didn’t do anything intentionally to slow the cars up.” Both men indicated that the issue would be discussed further at the team's next meeting, with Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff adding: 'We need to be careful half an hour after the race to be pointing fingers at anyone. It was a difficult situation, [Lewis] needed to manage the pace and that put Nico into a difficult situation.'
