Ricciardo cheers: “McLaren on the podium is already huge, but as a one-two? I have no words for that. ” Norris is beaming too: “We have been working towards this since I joined the team four years ago. I’m also happy about Daniel’s victory: I’ll get my chance in the future. ”
The World Cup rivals drive side by side through the first chicane, Hamilton leaves Verstappen no place.
Then what has to happen happens: The World Cup rivals drive side by side through the first chicane, Hamilton leaves Verstappen no place. The Red Bull, in turn, is levered out on the curbs, the driven rear wheels touch each other: Verstappen climbs up and remains jacked up on Hamilton’s halo bar. Both are stranded in the gravel. After the Silverstone crash, it is already the second collision of the World Cup duelists.
Sky expert Ralf Schumacher: “Nobody gives something to the other, nobody gives in. Something like that happens with two people who are fighting for the World Cup. A racing accident. But nothing better could have happened to Max. “
Shortly after the start, the two World Cup fighting cocks clashed. Hamilton attacks Verstappen in front of the Ascari chicane, but the Red Bull star closes the door. Hamilton is annoyed: “He pushed me out.”
Ricciardo’s victory is not pure luck: The Australian grabbed Verstappen at the start and dominated the race from start to finish.
For Vettel it was a weekend to forget.
For Sebastian Vettel, the Italian GP is a race to forget. First he is sent into the meadow by his own Aston Martin team-mate Lance Stroll - Alonso, Ocon and Latifi slip through with them. The race management ignores the fact that the Canadian shortened the chicane beforehand. Vettel falls back to twelfth after a good start.
