Lewis Hamilton , too, didn’t hide his emotion after ending his two-year drought in F1 .
“It’s hard to put this victory into words, difficult to find the right words. I have a lot of gratitude, extremely proud of the team, of the people I work with.
“We went through some complicated things last year, both publicly and internally. I was able to rebuild myself over the winter. I trained, I rebuilt my mindset and my focus, I rebuilt the team around me. It reminded me that you should never give up. Even if you fall 100 times, you have to get back up. Perseverance really pays off,” he explained after the Barcelona Grand Prix .
