Lewis Hamilton nullified Monza’s disappointment, with a peremptory victory in the Tuscany GP of F1, the first played in Mugello and characterized by accidents and two red flags with so many restarts from the grid. The Englishman preceded Valtteri Bottas in another Mercedes double. Alexander Albon’s Red Bull was also on the podium. Another ordeal for him Ferrari: Charles Leclerc finished 8th, Sebastian Vettel 10th
A fantastic overtaking from the outside at the first turn and Lewis Hamilton took his 90th career victory – now he is just one win off the record for Michael Schumacher. And to think that the first route had been disastrous for the English, with Bottas which was placed in front of him. Then, the red flag for the accident on the starting straight gave the Englishman a new opportunity, which he did not miss. And he won as a dominator, as he loves to do, avenging what happened in Monza. The only one capable of trying to keep him under pressure was his boxing partner, but this time also the Finn was the first of the losers, so much so that he slipped to third place after the second restart before climbing back up to the spot of honor. In the classification, however, the gap with the leader is already almost insurmountable: 190 points against 135.
However, if we talk about the losers, it is impossible not to refer to Ferrari. On the day of its 1000th GP, the Prancing Horse certainly did not thrill its fans in the stands. Tried the usual Chalres Leclerc, got off to a great start behind the elusive two Mercedes and then outnumbered (not to say stripped) serially by the various Stroll, Ricciardo, Albon, Perez, Norris, and Kvjat. In the end he had to settle for a bitter eighth place. Worse than did Sebastian Vettel, never starring and tenth at the finish line after having also found himself in front of Sainz’s McLaren (due to a contact with Stroll) after the first outing. In short, in Maranello you just have to look forward. In the sense of 2021.
Much applause for Albon, on the first historic podium of his career and for Thailand. A little for him, a little for the demerit of Racing point, who in the end only picked up a fifth place with Sergio Pérez, given that Walk Lance With fifteen laps remaining, it crashed violently between the two very fast corners of the Arrabbiata, causing another red flag and a somewhat difficult recovery for the car. In front of Leclerc too Daniel Ricciardo, fourth after having long cherished the dream of bringing Renault back to the Top 3 after nine years, Lando Norris and Daniil Kvjat. Two points for theAlfa Romeo thanks to a tough guy Kimi raikkonen, who would have finished eighth on the track, but was penalized 5 “for crossing the pit line.
It was a Sunday to forget Max verstappen. The Dutchman, who accused his Red Bull of having problems already on the grid, got off to a poor start due to a sudden lack of power and once he found himself in the middle of the peloton he was hit by Raikkonen, ending up in the sand and stuck. His run lasted a few hundred meters after a promising Saturday. The Monza winner was also involved in the same accident, Pierre Gasly, closed between Kimi and Grosjean and immediately outside.
The second outing was also daring to say the least, because after the safety car came out, there was a huge explosion on the start straight, again involving Carlos Sainz, Kevin Magnussen and Antonio Giovinazzi. The Alfa Romeo driver, deceived by Latifi (who in turn was excited), hit the Dane because the drivers in the first part of the group had not yet stepped on the accelerator, while from behind they were at a higher speed. And it was a disaster with an inevitable red flag. It should be noted that it is only the third time in history that a GP has seen three stationary exits.
