But my dad reminded me of something. I didn’t think we’d catch up this way today. Things have been constantly turning against us, but they also prove that we should never give up. We shouldn’t stop fighting, so I got close to things too. I haven’t won in a long time, so it looks like my first win.” – he added Hamilton.
