In the F1 São Paulo main race that ended in the early morning of Beijing time on the 15th, The 10th Mercedes-Benz Team driver Hamilton overtook all the way, and after surpassing Red Bull Racing's Verstappen on lap 59, he maintained his leading position and narrowed the annual point difference between himself and Verstappen to 14 points. They will compete for the F1 championship in the final 3 races.
For Hamilton, Sao Paulo station was very unsmooth. Hamilton, who finished first in qualifying last Friday, was disqualified from qualifying because of a found rear-wing DRS (Drag Reduction System) violation. In Saturday's sprint qualifying, Hamilton started in the tail and finished in 5th place. But as a result, he replaced the fifth internal combustion engine of the season and was fined 5 places to start in the main race, that is, starting from 10th place.
Hamilton said after the game: "Because of the foul penalty, this weekend's game can be said to be the toughest I have ever experienced. ...... This weekend, I never thought we could close the gap like we did today. Some things have always been the opposite of us, but I think it's really on display for everyone, no matter what situation you're facing, never give up. ”
However, the overly excited Hamilton unfastened his seat belt in the return circle after the dash, and the Fia Federation (FIA) added a fine to him today - a fine of 5,000 euros, but this did not affect Hamilton's results in the main race. With 78 points still to be contested in the next three games, the 14-point difference with Verstappen now means anything can happen.
