To say it clearly, as always, is Max Verstappen, second at the finish line and still virtually the leader of the World Championship due to a win over Hamilton (9 against 8); regarding the 5 ”penalty for not having returned the position to Lewis, during the radio interview for the Driver of the Day award, he says:“ If there is no possibility to defend yourself on the track it is no longer Formula 1 ”. Then he explains: “It was an eventful race, a lot of things happened, I don’t agree on some decisions made but in any case I finished 2nd. I’m not too surprised either. The slowdown on the straight? I had been instructed to give the position to Lewis and I slowed down to get him through, but he didn’t want to pass me there and we touched, I don’t know what happened for the rest. I was looking in the mirrors to give him the position, I was out of line to make him pass as they told me. Excessive tension? For my part, no, we all want to win ”.
