British Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton recently won the race in the Russian Grand Prix. Hamilton’s win the this grand prix seemed easy as he lead his way alone in the victory but he insists that it’s not what everybody thinks.

This is Hamilton’s fourth consecutive win and his ninth this season. His win in this race was bitter sweet as his core shot up 17 points ahead from fellow team mate and arch nemesis Nico Rosberg. Rosberg tried to overtake Hamilton several times in the race to no avail.

There are still three races to go and about a hundred points to win but since Hamilton is at a batter advantage than Rosberg, surely the latter would double up his antic to take the lead.

According to Hamilton “Once I was in the lead, I just really had to control looking after the tyres, managing the fuel was quite straightforward and then towards the end of the race the car felt great so I could push or not push.”

He adds “I wasn’t really having to push much and even when I had to pick up the pace a little bit when Nico was behind it was easy to match the times. The car’s been amazing this weekend and I tell you I really, really enjoyed the track, Russia’s been one of my favourite places so far this year. So it’s very cool to have won the first race here.”

“It’s still an incredible feeling. It’s different when you lead from the front and don’t have a battle, it’s still challenging, you are looking after your car, you’re looking after your gearbox the whole time – it’s like the longest race of your life when you’re out there on your own. I was looking after the tyres, no flat-spots, and not making any mistakes today and if I needed the pace I had it.”

Strong Rivals of the Mercedes Team, the Red Bulls would need at least a second-place finish in order to keep the former team wait a little longer for their first Constructors’ Championship in F1. The Mercedes team are now at the top of their game.
