"It's just been such a privilege working with them," added the Briton, who was joined on the podium by race engineer Peter 'Bono' Bonnington.Dutch youngster Max Verstappen finished third for Red Bull at the Algarve circuit near Portimao that was hosting the country's first grand prix in 24 years.

Hamilton lapped all but the three drivers behind him but it had not looked so simple at the start when he dropped to third from pole position on a lively opening lap. Bottas, who had gone ahead, was then passed on lap two by McLaren's Spaniard Carlos Sainz, who had started seventh on the soft tyres, with the Mercedes pair struggling to get heat into their medium tyres.

LEWIS: "I owe this to the [Mercedes team] here and those back at the factory. It’s been such a privilege to work with them. "I could only of ever dreamed of where I am today. It's gonna take some time to sink in. I can’t find the words at the moment"
