verstappen implacable

Verstappen confirms himself as an unstoppable machine. Despite some power unit management problems in the early stages of the race, the Dutchman managed to close the 23 laps of the short race with a comfortable margin of 4″6 over Piastri, who was deadly in taking advantage of the door left open by the teammate Lando Norris, unleashed in attacking Verstappen. The highlight on the fifth lap, when Lando attacked and passed Max, who however crossed the line and with the Drs regained the lead in the following braking zone. And that’s where Norris is he was taken aback: passed by Max, he was unable to close the door where his Australian teammate also got in another bitter pill.

there is battle
—
Behind the top three, it was George Russell who got the better of Sainz’s Ferrari. Then Hamilton got the better of Leclerc, penalized by a temperature management problem that prevented him from attacking the Mercedes of his future teammate at the Prancing Horse. Leclerc explained however that speed was lacking and that in the afternoon qualifying he will try to risk something with the set-up to try to compete for one of the top positions on the grid, which is essential to not lose ground in the early stages of the race. Which promises to be very interesting because this weekend we saw that there could be a battle between Red Bull and McLaren, with Mercedes and Ferrari currently in second place but ready to take advantage of the mistakes of the leaders.
