(ANSA-AFP) – STUTTGART, NOVEMBER 16 – Mercedes has announced that it has asked for a review of the ‘accident’ between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen of Red Bull during the 48th lap of the Brazilian GP last Sunday, for which the Dutch was not penalized. The ‘silver arrows’ team bases its review request on “new evidence that was not available to the marshals at the time of their decision”.
Attacked by Hamilton from the outside at Turn 4, Verstappen aggressively ‘defended’ himself and drove his opponent off the track. The commissioners did not consider it necessary to investigate the incident, considering that it was a race episode. However, race director Michael Masi later explained, they did not have access to all the images, and particularly those shot aboard the Red Bull, which would be incriminating if they showed intentional movement of the steering wheel towards Hamilton.
In any case, the seven-time British world champion managed to get the better of his rival ten laps later, concurrently claiming victory in the Brazilian grand prix and returning to -14 points behind his rival in the drivers’ championship with three races behind. end. The world championship continues in Qatar, next Sunday. (ANSA-AFP).
