Interviews conducted by Gerard Butler
Gerard Butler: Hello Austin! Congratulations Lewis.
Lewis Hamilton: How are you guys doing! What an
incredible crowd we have here. It’s you guys that
make this race so special. Thank you for so much for
coming out.
GB: So, Lewis, you needed the win, you got it, how do
you feel?
LH: I feel OK. This has always been a good hunting
ground for me. I love being here in the States. It very
much feels like home and, as I said, we have had
some incredible support this weekend, which I’m so
thankful for. So a big, big thank you to everyone and
the team did a great job this weekend to put us both
up there and I’m very proud to be a part of it.
GB: So you’ve won, what is that, four times here now,
five times in America, you love this track, and it’s your
50th grand prix win! One off Alain Prost – amazing.
LH: Oh, finally! Finally. I completely forgot. Thank you
very much.
GB: [Nico] How do you doing? How are you feeling,
talk us through it, an unusual opening?
Nico Rosberg: Yeah, I mean I lost out a bit at the start
unfortunately, then gave it everything to come back.
Second place is OK, it’s damage limitation here of
course. I wanted to win here in America, that would
have been awesome, but it wasn’t to be. Next time,
maybe.
