After the Monza race, Mugello’s departure was not perfect either Lewis Hamilton for him, however, it did not end in his victory. The Mercedes driver was really sweaty from the chaotic race, at the end of which he could celebrate the 90th victory of his F1 career.

“It was an incredible race. It is as if I have completed three races in one day. Said the six-time world champion after the knockout. – It was incredibly difficult, but this track was incredible. It was hot and I had to keep Valtteri behind me, who was very fast all weekend, plus I was late at the start of the race. Each reboot required a full approach, which was very difficult. I did a good job on the tires in the first stage and I didn’t have to stand up, only the team was worried because Valtteri had a problem. I started the last stage with the soft tires that were also used, so I didn’t know how long they would last. “

The tires finally held on to Hamilton’s car, which he did on the first outing. Valtteri Bottas was able to overtake, the Finns finally had to settle for second place. Furthermore, after restarting the safety car, Bottas was criticized by the drivers who ended up waving the red flag as well, believing that they crashed because Bottas started too late after the safety car left the track.

“The race can start again from the designated line, and according to this year’s rules, the safety car will turn off its headlights very late, so I could only start building my lead later. The Mercedes runner brushed off. – Sure, when you’re at the forefront, you try to maximize your chances, but they can’t blame me for that at all. My pace was steady the whole time and I started very late, but we were only able to run from the line anyway. So those who collided with me would have preferred to look in the mirror because there is no reason to complain. “

Alexander Albon for the first time in his life, he was able to shine on the Formula One podium. The race did not start perfectly for the Red Bull driver, but then he managed to fight ahead, and in the end, showing good overtaking, he was able to get on the podium against Daniel Ricciardo alongside Hamilton and Bottas.

“I smiled quite a bit under the mask. It was a very good race and I am very happy to be able to get on the podium. However, I did not have an easy time, I did not feel good at the start and I also lost some places. I didn’t like this very much, but it already seemed good to me when the podium opportunity presented itself before my eyes, in a word I said to myself: I will get on the podium, whatever it takes. We had our car and our speed. “ Albon said.

For the first time in the previous race, we could actually see the rule that after a red flag break, the field is released again with a stopped start. Two of them then made it to the Tuscan GP straight away, meaning the drivers completed a total of three standing starts at Mugello. Sebastian Vettel He was not particularly satisfied with this, as he believes this would put many competitors at a disadvantage for no reason.

„I don’t recall finishing so many outings in one day as it would normally be a The Ferrari driver revealed. – Honestly, I’m not a big fan of this rule because if you put yourself on the clean side of the track, it’s a huge advantage. We have already seen it at Monza. Things changed a lot in the middle of the race, and that was not fair. We must strive to overtake cars, not throw them into the unknown like in the lottery. “
