Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton was leading at Zandvoort last weekend until the removal of a Safety Car, when he was swiftly overtaken by168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Red Bull driver Verst෴appen who went on to win his home race.

The scenario loosely resembled 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Abu Dhabi 2021 - the final race of last season when the interpretation of a Safety Car rule allowed Verstappen to win his first championship, and deny Hamil💞ton an all-time record eighth.

“It was super exciting, but Red Bull was back on top,” 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jos Verstappen, a former F1 driver and fathe🌞r of Max, told De T🌺elegraaf.

“And Max has tried all the tires and indicated which compound would work best. Mercedes also went well, they definitely had a ch🏅ance to win. But luckily it turned out well for us.

“And you would think that Mercedes learned from last year’s race in Abu Dhabi, but apparently no🅠t!”

Hamilton vented his rage via his team radio when he 💃was left out, while V൲erstappen changed to soft tyres.

He later said of his desperation to resume a title battle with Verstappen which must now wait until the F1 2023 season: “Dying 🐻to get back in that ༺race and have the opportunity to fight Max but the day hasn't come yet.”
