The Interlagos weekend will hardly be forgotten by Formula 1 fans, not only for the memorable comeback of Lewis Hamilton between the Sprint Qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday, but also for the ‘episodes’ that generated this rise of the British champion, namely the relegation to last position of the Mercedes # 44 at the start of the sprint race due to an irregularity linked to the DRS . Even his title rival, Max Verstappen, was put under investigation for touching Hamilton’s Mercedes under a parc fermé, but the Hasselt native got away with a 50,000 Euro fine.
In the race the two ended up under the scrutiny of the race marshals again, due to a maneuver made by the orange in an attempt to defend against Hamilton’s attack outside in turn 4 during the 48th lap. In that case, the young talent from Red Bull was not punished, while a few laps later he was shown the black and white flag for zigzagging in the straight line in an attempt to block the Mercedes behind him. At the end of the GP, however, the only driver to be punished for his driving in the race was Yuki Tsunoda. The Japanese rookie remedied his fifth penalty of the year (six penalty points collected by the AlphaTauri rider) for causing the accident with Lance Stroll, in the early stages of the race.
Instead smile Norris, Russell and Sainz that this weekend have ‘unmarked’ the penalty points received last year during the GP of Turkey. In particular, the Ferrari driver from today returns to zero penalty points on his license, together with Daniel Ricciardo and Mick Schumacher.
