"I saw a screen , it looked like the team was out and I thought that
Nico had pitted ,"said Hamilton. “Obviously I couldn‘t see the guys
behind so I thought the guys behind were pitting. ”
“The team said to stay out , I said ‘these tyres are going to drop
in temperature,’ and what I was assuming was that these guys would be
on [super-soft] and I was on the harder tyre."
"So they said to pit. Without thinking I came in with full confidence
that the others had done the same."
