Current F1 leader Max Verstappen won his tenth victory of the season this Sunday (4), this time at the Dutch GP.
In front of his fans, who painted the stands of the traditional Zandvoort circuit orange, the Red Bull driver started on pole and benefited from the strategy adopted by his team, especially in the final part of the race.
In the final laps, he even lost the first position to Lewis Hamilton, but ended up choosing the best tire compound after a safety entry on the track, while Mercedes chose not to change the game they had chosen for the seven-time champion.
Red Bull’s decision proved to be the right one and Verstappen regained first position as soon as the safety car left the track. With the exception of that moment, the season leader had practically taken a walk home.
Hamilton, in turn, in addition to not being able to defend himself, also dropped to fourth position, overtaken by his teammate, George Russell, in second, and Charles Leclerc, from Ferrari, in third.
“I can’t believe you… I man, I’m so… mad right now”, shouted the Briton while still in the car, frustrated with his team’s decision, which deprived him of his chance to fight for his first win of the year. .
F1 returns next week, with the Italian GP, ​​at the Monza circuit, on Sunday (11), at 10 am (Brasilia time).
