Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton was leading at Zandvoort last weekend until the removal of a Safety Car, when he was swiftly overtaken by168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Red Bull drive🦋r Versඣtappen who went on to win his home race.

The scenario loosely resembled 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Abu Dhabi 2021 - the final race of last sea𓂃son when the interpretation of a Safety🦄 Car rule allowed Verstappen to win his first championship, and deny Hamilton an all-time record eighth.

“It was super exciting, but Red Bull was back on top,” 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jos Verstappen, a former F1 dri♌ver and father of Max, told De Telegraaf♊.

“And Max has tried all the tires and indic꧂ated which compound would work best. Mercedes also went well, they😼 definitely had a chance to win. But luckily it turned out well for us.

“And you would think that 🥂Mercedes learned from last year’s race in Abu Dhabi, but apparently not!”

Hamilton vented his rag😼e via his team radio when he was left out, while Verstappen changed to soft tyres.

He later said of his desperation to resume a title battle with Verstappen which must now wait until the F1 2023 season: “Dying to get back in that race and hav🦩e th⛦e opportunity to fight Max but the day hasn't come yet.”
