Mercedes enjoys Hamilton's victory

21 July 2008

Lewis Hamilton gave the team's engine supplier, Mercedes, a home victory at Hockenheim. Hamilton started the race from pole position and dominated the race in Germany. Mercedes motorsport boss Norberg Haug was extremely pleased with Hamilton's victory.

"A sensational victory for Lewis with some great overtaking - he was in a class of his own in the team's second consecutive home Grand Prix," Haug said. "His speed was better than I had ever dreamed of. After we let him continue during the Safety Car period we saw two of the most exciting overtaking manoeuvres of the championship. I am really happy about this convincing win - thank-you Lewis.

"I also want to thank everybody in the team for doing a great job; not only in the garage but also to everybody on the marketing, press and organisational side. Finally, I want to thank all our friends and guests who enjoyed a fantastic day at the Mercedes grandstand where they all saw a lot of action and enjoyed the great atmosphere."
