A never seen movie. Nerves class and two ‘godparents’. Like this The Gazzetta dello Sport in the editorial edited by Gianluca Gasparini defines the 2021 F1 championship which sees Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton engaged in the fight for the world title. After Mexico, Verstappen was on nine wins against the five of the seven-time world champion and reigning champion, the Dutchman had a 19-point lead with four more races to go. ‘One-two’ in quick succession by Lewis Hamilton has rebalanced the count of stage victories – now nine to seven in favor of the Dutchman – and now the Mercedes driver has his rival who has a nest egg in his sights. of eight points of advantage.
The challenge on the track is of the highest level, but even the one outside between the ‘godfathers’ Toto Wolff and Christian Horner is no joke: “Net of a middle finger waved by Ferrari director Cesare Fiorio in 1990 in the face of Ron Dennis, McLaren boss, after a Mansell-Senna clash at Estoril, no one remembers episodes and heavy words like those that have been running for months between Chris Horner and Toto Wolff, number one of the teams in the fight. Psychological warfare, studied acting, sincere antipathy: the substance does not change, any form of pressure capable of agitating rivals is considered productive “ we read on the Rosea.
Yesterday Red Bull had to collect the five penalty positions on the starting grid for Max Verstappen following the failure to respect the double yellow flag at the end of Qualifying. Christian Horner obviously didn’t take the verdict well and talked about “Great gift to Hamilton”. Words that the FIA did not want to let pass into the cavalry by summoning him at the end of the race and limiting itself to a reprimand following Horner’s public apologies for the outburst. “Jean Todt, the number one of the federation, did not like it. Horner was immediately summoned by the jury after the race to give an account of his statements: he apologized after the outburst, getting away with just one reprimand “, we read in fact on today’s edition of The Rest of the Carlino.
