Lewis Hamilton says that Mercedes showed its true force in Barcelona, as he dominated to take victory in Spain. The Briton finished over 20 seconds ahead of teammate Valtteri Bottas, who came home to complete a Mercedes 1-2.
Hamilton took his second consecutive victory in good style, controlling the race from the start to the end. The four-time world champion extends his lead in the championship to 17 points over Sebastian Vettel, stating he felt "that synergy" between him and the car.
"Today the car and myself, I felt that synergy today, which I hadn’t been feeling for the whole year. It’s a good feeling," Hamilton said. "I couldn’t have done it without this incredible team. These guys have done an amazing job. I’m just really proud of everyone.
Mercedes now take over the lead of the constructor's championship, heading their Italian rivals by 27 points. Hamilton is hoping that the Silver Arrows will keep up its Barcelona form and continue to apply pressure.
"This is when we’re going to start trying to continue to apply the pressure. A one-two for the team, we’ve got our Mercedes board with us who have been supporting us from day one, so it’s great to have them here and just see that true force within the team. Strength in depth. I hope it can continue."

You know, I do have some tinfoil hats left, if you care for one.
