Formula 1: This was the Emilia Romagna GP in Imola

With these points, Mercedes secured the seventh series constructors’ championship title – that’s a new record! Ferrari (6 titles from 1999 to 2004) lags behind.

Silberpfeil team boss Toto Wolff is almost full of pride: “We can all be proud. We always seek that we can push the boundaries even further. I often look employees in the eye and discover the burning fire of passion. It sounds a bit bloated, but it is. “

Lewis, who is celebrating his 93rd GP, is also praised: “It was a tough race, but once again I have the whole team to thank. Many people think this is normal, but it is not. Seven world titles in a row, no one has ever done it. And nobody knows where that ends. “

Hamilton, who started from second place, secures victory in a chaotic race thanks to a virtual safety car, arriving exactly at the point where he is only 200 meters from the pit stop and can outrun the leaders Bottas and Verstappen. Lewis is now 85 points ahead of his chasing Bottas, with four standout runs in which the Finn can score a maximum of 104 points. By the way, the 93rd GP victory is Hamilton’s 72nd with Mercedes. In this category he ties with Schumi, who celebrated 72 times with Ferrari.

Pole Bottas is unlucky and has damage to the underside of his Silver Arrow at the beginning: “A great start, but then on the second lap at Turn 7 I picked up a lot of the debris that pierced the underside. So in the end I really didn’t get a chance. “And it still is: a Finn (Keke Rosberg, Häkkinen, Räikkönen) has never won a Grand Prix in Italy.

About Finn: Kimi Räikkönen shows another incredible journey on the 4,909 km of ascent and descent, and finally Alpha-Sauber is rewarded! Because you risk it: Kimi is the longest of all the drivers with the starting tire, although she is unlucky with the safety car, which only arrived two laps after her stop. But Kimi finally gets 2 valuable points in ninth place.

His colleague Antonio Giovinazzi, who went from 20 to 14 with a great start, finally completes Hinwil’s jubilation with 10. Three points for a hallelujah! Thus, the eighth in the World Championship leads against the newly underground Haas-Ferrari with 8: 3 points. Alfa-Sauber is practically in eighth position (see World Cup bleachers box below).

Meanwhile, less joy at Red Bull. Max Verstappen grabs Lewis Hamilton at first, but then has to park his car with a blown rear right tire as second. Alex Albon in the second Red Bull tour shortly before the end and probably out of the Bull car.

He is also unlucky on the road: Monza winner Pierre Gasly, who started from fourth place, has to return the Alpha Tauri to the pits early on with an injury. His teammate Daniil Kvyat finished fourth ahead of Charles Leclerc at Ferrari.

At the red Scuderia, meanwhile, the home race (the Ferrari factory is only a few kilometers from the track) is not running either. Leclerc is fifth, but Sebastian Vettel has a miserable pit stop that takes him out of the points in 12th place. Vettel really is not to be envied.

Lance Stroll also has a bad pit stop at Racing Point Mercedes: he brakes too late and runs over a mechanic who then has to be let go.

Bitter Sunday too for Williams: talent George Russell loses points with an accident, billionaire son Nicholas Latifi loses points in eleventh place.
