Lewis Hamilton suffers another miserable evening in his penultimate Mercedes appearance.
MAX VERSTAPPEN FOLLOWED up securing his fourth world championship by winning a chaotic Qatar Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton suffered another miserable evening in his penultimate Mercedes appearance.
But Verstappen made amends for the sanction by blasting clear of pole-sitter Russell at the opening bend before leading every lap en route to victory. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc took advantage of Norris’ demise to take second place, six seconds behind Verstappen, and one spot ahead of McLaren driver Oscar Piastri. Russell finished fourth.
Running in eighth, Hamilton was the slowest driver of the big four teams. He was on the radio to ask if his machine was “broken”. And on lap 34, he suffered a puncture. “Guys, the car is messed up,” said Hamilton after being informed he was 12th in the order. Hamilton then immediately lost two places at the re-start on lap 42, falling behind Bottas and Yuki Tsunoda, to leave him 14th out of 15.
