After the race, congratulating Antonelli, Lewis said, “I have to start by congratulating Kimi and the Mercedes team, my old family, they’ve done it again, they’ve created an amazing car and Kimi’s doing an incredible job, just delivering weekend in, weekend out. It’s great to see, and I’m really happy for them.”
