Lewis Hamilton’s First Ferrari Win1:01 – 8:47

Jacky MartensHost

1:01

The main man of this weekend must be Lewis Hamilton.

1:04

Jeez, he was popular yesterday.

1:06

Jumping out of his skin.

1:09

It was so nice to be in Parc Fermé.

1:12

Out of his

skin or out of his skim?

1:16

We'll get to that in a minute.

1:17

I wear that underwear from Kim Kardashian.

1:20

But it was so nice being next to him.

1:22

Same, same.

1:23

Right.

1:23

You were a different size to me, I would suggest.

1:25

So I was standing right next to the Ferrari crew and they were so pumped.

1:29

They were singing.

1:31

When the National Anthem came on, they got a little bit ahead of themselves.

1:35

So they finished before the actual National Anthem music finished.

1:38

But Lewis went straight, once he got his trophy, straight to the edge of the podium and aimed it at his guys.

1:46

And it was a lovely gesture.

1:48

It's been a long time coming, as you know, and I want to know why you weren't at the track to witness this momentous occasion.

Jacky MartensHost

1:55

As I said before, I think China was the last one we did in this fashion.

Jacky MartensHost

1:58

It's 24 races, so that's a little bit too much for a young man like me.

Jacky MartensHost

2:04

No, there's no excuses, but I'm just sitting here in my office.

Jacky MartensHost

2:08

It was a bit sad that I wasn't there because what a awesome moment it was.

Jacky MartensHost

2:12
