'Very happy, great team effort' - Antonelli edges closer to making F1 history after USA GP win

Good morning Lewis. The atmosphere is very American. Actually it's amazing. I just cannot get over that hill up there. How much steeper it is in real life life compared to what you see on the TV. Just the precision, the excellence, the pursuit for absolute perfection every time they come out on the track and then the team supporting it underneath it's just awesome. This atmosphere is fantastic being a student athlete here from Austin originally this is like the city being alive like this is crazy. It's rattling I think that I think the planes going over like really capture the moment of how everyone feels in the stands in the Mercedes club right now I mean everyone's electric and super excited we're on our toes I think what just under 600,000 across the three days here the track is incredible and yeah it's not done yet so max is back with a vengeance Ferrari's got a point to prove so fingers crossed it was a good race and I enjoyed the race I enjoyed the first lap with max I enjoyed I I enjoyed later on as well with Lando and Max again and that was nice. The pace was quite strong as well. Mercedes though saw something that maybe Red Bull and I didn't really consider seriously, which was the one stop and they made it work very nicely. So this is something we'll have to analyze, but the whole race has been very good. And anyway, I think if we were on a one stop, it wouldn't have changed much the results. I mean, we didn't have the pace of Kimi, but at the same time, I think also the way that we used our tires the order was wrong probably also the wrong compounds in hindsight but that's something that is still a bit to understand because lately the harder compounds have not been competitive and now suddenly they were but yeah also from our side I think too many issues with the power unit unfortunately in terms of consistency and then you can't rely on a consistent balance through the corner because if every lap in every corner it's doing something different that is very hard to be on top of things very happy with the And with the result, it was the result we needed for me, for the team, because, yeah, it wasn't looking great at the start of the weekend, but we worked our way through. And, you know, today was also, you know, I have to give credit to strategy because they trusted in the one stop and really happy that we made it stick. And yeah, it was a great team effort, great team execution. And now we look forward to the next one.
