However, already in the first round, it became clear that it would not be easy for Pink Racing Point to win the podium. Because Hamilton immediately jumped from sixth to third (although he soon fell back to sixth). And Ferrari, who sings his swan song, S. Vettel, also jumped from eleventh position to third after the first lap! It is true that he was not reassured by the speedy Max Verstappen, who gasped into his back.
And although M. Verstappen returned to the track ahead of S. Vettel and then S. Pérez after a final pit stop, he made a mistake: he turned around and left the track.
V. Bott, E. Ocon, D. Ricciardo and even A. Albon, who had already managed to overtake S. Vettel, did not prevent similar incidents.
Unfortunately, Stroll did not create intrigue in the race, he only led until the first pit stop. Later, the Canadian slowed down and only S. Stroll, a friend of L. Stroll’s team, competed with L. Hamilton and S. Vettel.
On lap 37, Lewis edged out S. Pérez and has only increased his lead since then, earning a convincing victory. In this way, Hamilton secured the seventh title of the champion in advance and equaled the mythical Michael Schumacher in terms of the number of champion titles.
