In the third session at Yas Marina, the Englishman of Mercedes is the best, with 2 tenths on the rival for the title, but a possible obstruction to Mazepin could cost him dearly
Lewis Hamilton makes the big voice in Free 3 of the Abu Dhabi GP which closes the 2021 F1 world championship. With a time of 1.23.274, made with a soft tire, the Englishman of Mercedes precedes his rival for the title, Max Verstappen, trailing by 0 “214. In the fight between them, however, an external factor could be inserted, because Lewis could be at risk of a reprimand for an obstruction to Nikita Mazepin that would be bloody.

On the renewed Yas Marina track, subjected in the night to a filing of the discussed edges of the curbs at the exit of curves 5 and 9, blunted because they are indicated as dangerous, both for the risk of punctures, and for any damage to the wings and bottom of the single-seaters, the fight between the two, paired at the top of the standings, is hot, with the other spectators: third in FP3 is Valtteri Bottas at 0.751 and fourth is Sergio Perez at 0.773. Important gaps.
the duel and the mazepin key
–
Verstappen and Hamilton have differentiated their jobs, with the Dutchman initially running on the yellow tires and Lewis on the reds and Max grappling with various aileron changes on his Red Bull. When he switched to the red compounds at the end of the session, Verstappen first committed a forehand to then file his time and get closer to his rival. Hamilton, however, more than the Dutchman now has to guard against another situation: exiting the pits he had a dangerous intersection with Mazepin (after Arabia, again him!) Who was in his flying lap and was forced to go wide. Hot matter for possible investigations that could have heavy repercussions: if Lewis were given a reprimand it would be the third and it would cost him 10 positions on the grid.
