Hamilton receives grid penalty, Albon disqualified : F1LV Blog

After qualifying for the Dutch doctor, there have been changes to the results, as Lewis Hamilton received a three-start penalty, and Alex Albon was disqualified for a technical violation.

The pilot “Mercedes” Hamilton upset Sergio Perez in the first qualifying round. Formula Red Bull was closing in on him and Perez had to let off the gas to avoid an accident. The seven-time F1 champion was penalized for interfering with a competitor in his flight circle.

“What the hell is that idiot doing?” Perez shouted on the radio as Hamilton told his team that he didn’t think he was on the road to competition. The judges didn’t think so.

Hamilton already had an unsuccessful qualification, not making it to the decisive round. A three-place penalty dropped him from 12th to 15th, but he will have to start from 14th due to Alex Albon’s disqualification.

“This weekend is over for me in a sense and I can go to the next one,” forced to admit the “Mercedes” driver, who won two of the three stages held.

At the same time, Albon experienced a relatively good qualification, entering the decisive round, where he took eighth place, beating Lance Stroll and Pierre Gazlee. After the session, the investigation revealed that the floor of the “Williams” formula did not come within the limits of the technical regulations, for which the results were banned.

So Albon will start from the last row, next to his teammate Logan Sargent, who crashed heavily in the third practice. The American could not take part in qualifying because his car had not yet been restored.
