British Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, defending champion, took first place in the Tuscan Grand Prix, the ninth stage of the Formula 1 World Championship after a race plagued by accidents, which forced him to be stopped twice.

Hamilton preceded his Mercedes colleague Valtteri Bottas and the Thai Alexander Albon (Red Bull), who took the podium for the first time in his career, taking advantage of the numerous casualties, among which his Dutch colleague Max Verstappen and the French Pierre Gasly ( Alpha Tauri) who won last Sunday’s race at Monza.
And also by winning the point of the fastest lap of the race, which enters the Formula 1 calendar for the first time, with the aim of trying to save what can be saved from a late start to the season and many of its stages were Canceled by the outbreak of the new Corona virus, Hamilton moved one step closer to his seventh world title after falling away from the lead by 55 points from Teammate Bottas (190 vs. 135).
As well as becoming a British champion with his 90th career victory, one victory away from equaling the record for victories recorded on behalf of German legend Michael Schumacher.
Although the crowds were allowed to return to the circuits at a maximum number of three thousand, and the many casualties of eight drivers, Ferrari could not adequately celebrate its thousandth race in the championship, as Charles Leclerc of Monaco and the German Sebastian Vettel they finished the race in eighth and tenth place, respectively. (The latter will move up to ninth place as a result of Kimi Raikkonen’s fine, adding 5 seconds to his final time.)
