168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen had to fight back from a five-second time penalty to win a thrilling race that featured two Safety Carsꦛ and inc♚idents aplenty as the so-called entertainment capital of the world delivered.

A lot had been made 🎃about the weekend, which started amid farcical scenes when a loose drain cover caused chaos by heavily disrupting Thursday’s practice schedule. 

The race alsoℱ faced criticism from several driver✱s, with triple world champion Verstappen being the loudest voice against F1’s return to Las Vegas, complaining the event was “99% show”. 

Although he did not directly mention his former title rival by name, Hamilton appeared to have a slight dig at Verstappen after💮 Saturday evening’s race. 

“I am really happy, I had a positive race,” Hamilto💃n told Sky. 

“I’m grateful that the race ไwas so good, there was so much overtaking, like Baku but better! I🙈 wasn’t expecting the track to be so great. There were lots of overtaking opportunities.

“I think for al♔l🃏 those who were so negative about the weekend, saying it was all about the show blah blah blah, I think Vegas proved them wrong.”

The seven-time world champion recovered from a puncture to finish seventh, ahead of Mercedes teammate George Russell who took eighth after serving a five-second time penalty 💫for a mid-race collision with Verstappen.

“A really challenging race,” Hamilton explained. “I started on the hard tyre which was trick🌳y. I got hit from behind - a big hit. I think it was Carlos? I tried to not hit the cars that had spun round. I fell back, I think five or six places. After that, I felt great. Tyres were feeling good, pace was strong.

"I went up the inside of Piastri. I don’t know exactly what happened. I obviously got the hit from behind, I think it was a racing i♛ncident. 

“I felt a thud, I didn’t have a puncture immediately. I was accelerating and, as I got to the pitlane entry, I felt the rear was moving. It was too late to come in. I had to do a whole slow lap. I must have lost 40s o༺r something.

“Grateful I was able to come back. Apologies to the team for the poor qualifying. There are st🦹rengths in our car but sometimes it’s hard to get performance out of it."
