FORMULA 1 NEWS | Another penalty for Lewis Hamilton from the FIA

– WHAT DID HAMILTON DO IN BRAZIL?

The qualifying rounds were run on the first day of the weekend. Although Hamilton finished 1st, he was sent off because his rear wing did not comply with the rules. The British pilot, who started the sprint race from the last pocket, managed to complete this section in 5th place. However, due to the change in the engine unit, he received a penalty of 5 rows.

Max Verstappen started the race from the first place and Hamilton from the 10th place. Mercedes’ champion driver quickly overtook his opponents and took second place on the 19th lap.

Hamilton, who also reduced the gap with the leader Verstappen, became the owner of the first place on the 59th lap. The British pilot, who did not leave the lead in the remaining section, reached the sixth place of the season and the 101st place of his career. Verstappen was second and Valtteri Bottas was third.

No matter what you face, you have to keep fighting, you have to keep fighting. TThank you for the incredible support on the ribs. I haven’t seen this much support since Silverstone. “It was the hardest race weekend I’ve ever had, thanks to my penalties, but the team did a great job, Valtteri did a great job.”
