Mexican Grand Prix Formula 1 2024: Hamilton feels recognition for Norris: “the same thing happened to me with Verstappen”

LThe rivalry between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris is starring in the Formula 1 world championship this year. Neerlands is still in the lead, like in previous years, but it no longer has the best car on the grid and has been threatened by McLaren. After Barne, ‘4’ was facing these last tests after Barne with the aim of reaching Red Bull, but in Austin the distance was increased in favor of the leader. In addition, both starred in a big duel on the American ring that ended with a very controversial sansin.

Lewis Hamilton, until recently, was the driver who had to fight with Max. That is why the situation that your compatriot is going through is quite well known to him. Last week, the battle that ended with cars from asphalt and with a five-second sansin for papaya was the most commented about the Great Circus. The seven-time world champion talked about what happened at the US Grand Prix and gave some advice to the FIA.

Nothing new for Hamilton

The three-time world champion has always been distinguished by a high level of leadership, but when he is in trouble and has to protect the situation, he has shown his aggressive character on the track. “I have experienced it several times with Max. You should not be able to throw the car inside, get out and keep the position. There was always a gray area and that’s why Max got away with it for so long,” recalls the 44-year-old.

Now the Mercedes team has moved back a little, and it’s been a while since we’ve seen them compete for the position. But, until not so long ago, it was customary to see the two rivals fighting for victory. What happened in Austin reminded Hamilton of something that happened a few years ago“It’s interesting that people are talking about it now, because the same will happen in 2021. If you take Brazil into account, you are ahead in braking, but then brake the other car that exceeds the limit, do not make the corner and you have to go long with el because you have no choice.”

Regulation needs to change

Decisions made by supervisors are not always to the taste of all drivers, in this case too. The future Ferrari driver was critical of the FIA: “We had discrepancies with the regulations, the weekend and the weekend too. As a sport, we need to take a step forward in several areas.”. This is not the first thing that is heard in the ring, because it is an opinion shared by many competitors.

The lack of consensus is the main problem, because recently there have been very similar situations on the track that were not treated in the same way when applying sansin. “If you look at other world sports, they have full-time referees, for example. I’m sure it wouldn’t be a bad thing for our sport,” says the Briton.
