JEvery fraction of a second counts, that’s how it works in Formula 1. Then even Lewis Hamilton can be defeated. In the pit stop classification, the world champion did not even finish in the top ten at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he drove to his 86th Grand Prix victory. Incidentally, the fastest was 2.04 seconds until four new tires were fitted: it wasn’t just the men from the tire service who had a good day in the crew of Max Verstappen. Before the Dutchman was able to start the race, his mechanics had to change essential parts of the suspension within twelve minutes on the way to the starting grid after Verstappen’s accident. Thumbs up, problem solved, departure.
Jerk, twitch, thumbs up? Problem solved? After the race on Sunday, Hamilton accused the full throttle industry of its very own habit. In fact, the look of the protest against racism and discrimination, which Formula 1 and the International Automobile Association Fia are committed to, is becoming more and more fraying, and the season in which “against pandemic and discrimination” is only three races old . Hamilton and some others knelt on Sunday, others stood, some came too late, and then the national anthem began. “Rushed” was all, Hamilton wrote on Instagram, “there was clearly a lack of organization and commitment, so the message was watered down and looked as if there were more important things. F1 and Fia have to do more. There is no quick fix for skin color inequality, but it is certainly not something that can be recognized and then left behind. ”
