Lewis Hamilton said the turnaround in structure that had prompted him opening a 19-point lead in the title was “somewhat insane”.
Hamilton has turned a 43-guide shortfall toward team-mate Nico Rosberg into a 19-point lead with six wins in the last seven races – a “62-point swing”.
“It feels like only a couple of weeks ago I was finding it hard to think how I could find my way through the trees,” he said.
“It’s crazy. I’m very happy with that.” Lewis Hamilton said,
“My engineers and mechanics all stayed super-focused and showed no signs of giving up and that has inspired me to do the same.
“Now I’m 19 points ahead, it’s proof to me that whenever I’m faced with that sort of thing again, never give up.”
In any case, he said he was still mindful of the way that he would more likely than not lose ground again to Rosberg at one of the following two races in Belgium and Italy, taking after the four-week summer break.
That is on the grounds that he will need to serve a framework punishment for utilizing more than the allowed number of engine parts as Mercedes acquaints new power-units with get him to the end of the season after various early season disappointments. Hamilton took his 6th win of the year at the German Grand Prix in prevailing style, passing Rosberg, who was on shaft position, toward the begin and controlling the race from that point to the end.
“There will be one race where I’ll fall further behind,” he said. “Nico will probably be having a nice Sunday afternoon drive and I don’t know with the damage limitation how far I’ll be able to get back up.
“The Red Bulls have picked their pace up and its might be hard to get past them. So I’m still not properly ahead. If I can get a race win ahead, then I’ll feel like I’m properly ahead.” Toto Wolff said: “Lewis has great talent and speed and on a good day I think he’s unbeatable. But this is a mechanical sport and he’s human and this is why he is not unbeatable in every race.” Rosberg tumbled to fourth on the principal lap after a terrible begin however battled back past the Red Bulls of Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen into second. Describing Rosberg’s race as “bad lady”, Wolff said, “Once he has recovered over the next two days, I’m sure he’ll come back strongly after the summer break.”
