#MexicoGP 🇲🇽 | Lewis Hamilton post qualifying:
“It’s an amazing feeling. Firstly, big big thank you to my family. I really wouldn’t be here without them. I texted my mum today at 11:11, got the tattoo here, it’s her birthday, and everytime I see 11:11 on my phone it reminds me that I’ve got to text her.”
“I came in this weekend with a different approach. Came here on Wednesday, which I never ever do. But we really wanted to look at where we’ve been the last few races, where it’s gone wrong, where we can improve and I think we changed, we made a small tweak to how we work this weekend.”
“I really felt, all weekend, that we had the possibility to be at the front. Today we looked at everything, wind direction, track temperature dropping through the session and what that means to settings you need to get the tyres working etc…”
“But to get the pole finally get a pole with Ferrari, it just takes me back to when I was a kid watching Michael get those poles and thinking how cool would it be to do that?”

O Williams-Mecachrome FW20 na fase de testes da pré-temporada de 1998, como se nota pela ausência da câmera de TV no topo da entrada superior do carro, obrigatória nos fins de semana de GPs.
Este primeiro carro projetado pela Williams sem a participação de Adrian Newey desde 1991, que foi para a McLaren. e também o início do afastamento da equipe de Frank Williams e Patrick Head da disputa real pelos títulos mundiais.
Esse carro também marcou o fim do envolvimento da Renault com a Fórmula 1 e consequentemente com equipe inglesa, desde a a temporada de 1989. Com isso a preparadora Mecachrome, parceira tradicional da fabricante francesa, ficou responsável por atualizar e preparar os motores de 1997 para o anos 1998, com resultados apenas modestos.
Isso, juntamente com o design conservador do FW20, levou alguns especialistas a comentar que eles usavam praticamente o mesmo carro do ano anterior apenas ajustado para o regulamento técnico de 1998.
Outra coisa que chamou muito a atenção nesta temporada foi a cor do carro, rompendo com a tradição azul e branco, presentes desde 1985, para adotar o vermelho dos novos patrocinadores Veltins, do mesmo grupo Rothmans dos quatro anos anteriores.
A equipe não venceu nenhuma corrida com o FW20 e conquistou apenas 3 pódios durante a temporada, com o melhor resultado sendo um terceiro lugar para seus dois pilotos, Jacques Villeneuve e Heinz-Harald Frentzen. Os dois deixariam a equipe no final de 1998, o alemão para ganhar corridas na Jordan e o canadense para afundar no projeto da BAR. #F1

🇨🇦 ON THIS DAY IN CANADIAN SPORTS HISTORY
🏎️ OCTOBER 26, 1997 — JACQUES VILLENEUVE BECOMES FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPION!
A Canadian flag. A world championship. And one of the most dramatic title deciders in Formula One history! 🇨🇦
On this day in 1997, Jacques Villeneuve of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, captured the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship at the European Grand Prix in Jerez, Spain.
Driving his Williams-Renault FW19, the 26-year-old Canadian entered the final race of the season just one point behind Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher.
The championship was on the line, and the tension couldn’t have been greater.
In qualifying, Villeneuve, Schumacher, and Heinz-Harald Frentzen astonishingly recorded identical fastest lap times, down to the thousandth of a second! Villeneuve secured pole position because he had set the time first.
During the race, Schumacher led, with Villeneuve pursuing him relentlessly.
Then came the defining moment.
On lap 48, Villeneuve attempted to pass Schumacher at the Dry Sac corner. The two cars collided as Schumacher turned into the Williams.
Schumacher slid into the gravel and retired. Villeneuve continued, his car damaged but still running.
Knowing he needed only to finish in the points, Villeneuve eventually crossed the line in third place, behind Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard.
Jacques Villeneuve was the 1997 Formula One World Champion!
The achievement was historic.
Villeneuve became the first Canadian to win the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship, accomplishing what his legendary father, Gilles Villeneuve, had never quite achieved before his tragic death in 1982.
Even more remarkably, Jacques had won the Indianapolis 500 and CART championship in 1995, before conquering Formula One in only his second season.
That afternoon in Spain, a young Canadian stood proudly before an enormous maple leaf, his fists raised in triumph.
Canada had a Formula One World Champion.
And 29 years later, Jacques Villeneuve remains the only Canadian ever to win the title.

Montreal, 2010. Lewis had just snatched pole, then McLaren realised there might not be enough fuel left for the FIA sample.
So they told him to stop.
Lewis let the McLaren roll, casually sat up on it… then jumped out and started pushing the car by the rear wing. 😭
McLaren got a $10,000 fine and a reprimand. Lewis kept pole.
And the next day? He won the Canadian Grand Prix anyway. 😂🏆
Old-school F1 really gave us everything.
