On Sunday, Hamilton received a five-second penalty and a penalty point each for two prohibited starts en route to the starting grid.
Hamilton pardoned in Sochi
At 6.15 pm, the FIA commissioners corrected the penalties and annulled the two penalty points. For this the team was fined 25,000 euros.
This means that Hamilton is clearly ahead in this dangerous ranking with eight points. And whoever accumulates twelve points in a calendar year has to skip a race. This has not happened to any driver yet!
Already punished in Monza
At Monza, Hamilton got the last two penalty counters during a safety car phase because he (like Giovinazzi) got into the blocked pit lane to change tires.
In Italy, he fell back to last place due to a stop-start penalty, but after a great run to catch up he struggled to move up to fifth place, just two places behind Bottas!
So he got the 8 points
November 11, 2019 Brazil
2 points for collision with Albon
July 5, 2020 Austria
2 points for being too fast under yellow
2 points for a collision with Albon!
September 6, 2020 Monza
2 points for no entry to pit lane
Bottas seizes the opportunity
This time the Finn was there when superstar Hamilton failed again. Because after the penalty in the pits served on lap 17, the leader Hamilton fell back to eleventh position, just ahead of the famous Räikkönen (323rd GP). Then he moved quickly again.
But the dream of victory 91 (like Schumi), of course, had exploded. He was still 29th in his 260 races …
Hamilton has to be careful
“It’s just ridiculous. I’ve done this a dozen times and no one was in danger, ”was Lewis’s first reaction. But you have to be careful with the FIA. Especially if an infraction at the Nürburgring, in Portugal, Imola or Istanbul threatens a suspension of the race with four more points.
For Bottas it was the ninth victory after the triumph at the 2017 premiere in Sochi. The Finn is now behind Hamilton’s starting number: 44 points!
It goes without saying that Northern Europe (as after every victory) verbally attacked its critics and verbally abused them on the radio: “Everyone knows who I mean.” You heard this saying at Melbourne 2019 and Spielberg 2020. The difficult life of a No. 2 driver can be that easy.
Sainz and Stroll crashed
The Russian GP started with two crashes: Sainz quickly put the McLaren against the wall of the tire at the end of the emergency exit. And Leclerc (who was still sixth) turned the Stroll around in the Ferrari, next to the track. Canadian: ‘Why wasn’t Leclerc punished? I gave him all the space in the world. “
Pérez, who was sacked at Racing Point-Mercedes at the end of the season, took fourth place, his best result so far in 2020. At Renault, after finishing fifth (Ricciardo) and Ocon (7), things are tough. The French achieved a stable order.
