The mess that gave Verstappen the title

Sportish brings you the chronicle of what happened in the final and after the end until we get to Max Verstappen’s rise as champion.

What happened at the Suzuka Grand Prix will be the subject of debate for several days after organizers screwed it up and even confused Max Verstappen.

The Dutchman may mathematically have won the title after what happened, but given the facts, it will be a while before the dust settles on both key decisions by race officials.

Let’s take things from the beginning. Max Verstappen took the win easily and fairly as he basically didn’t feel threatened beyond the start.

The theme of notes

Since the rain did not allow the entire race to be held, everyone expected fewer points. In concrete terms, the first player should get 19 and not 25 points and so on.

As we explained to you in the special edition prepared by Yiannis Limnaios, in the end the judges decided to give full points, which still wasn’t enough for Max Verstappen to win the title as he didn’t have the fastest lap of the race.

Leclerc’s error and blitz penalty

But how did he finally get the title? Sergio Perez pushed Charles Leclerc as hard as he could to pass him on the final lap and eventually the Monegasque made a mistake, losing control of his car in the final chicane, resulting in him going straight on over the curbs.

What was impressive was not the fact that Leclerc ended up being penalized with a five-second penalty, but the speed with which the decision was made within minutes, leading to the chaos that ensued.

Even Verstappen was surprised

Max Verstappen left to make his usual post-race remarks and the trial continued as per protocol.

Somewhere inside it was revealed that Leclerc was penalized and Max Verstappen was informed that he had won the title. The Dutchman celebrated, but after a while he seemed surprised himself.

In particular, as the drivers prepared for the awards ceremony, Max Verstappen asked the organizers if they were sure. When he was assured that this was the case, the Dutchman was now allowed to celebrate.

All of this will ultimately generate plenty of conversation, not so much about Verstappen clinching the title after the Dutchman was threatened at one point in the season and then disappearing in front of the others, but traded via the FIA ​​route.

So wait until the next episodes of the series because there will be dates when Ferrari is already preparing its reaction.

Former F1 team boss says new teammate Verstappen’s biggest advantage

Former F1 team boss says new teammate Verstappen’s biggest advantage

Former Haas boss Henter Steiner says Isak Hajjar will be Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull and will have the chance to avoid the problems faced by his predecessors.

The French driver took the hardest place in the peloton, as they say in F1. Following the departure of Daniel Ricciardo, many of Verstappen’s team-mates succumbed to the pressure: Pierre Gasly returned to Toro Rosso after a year and a half, Alex Albon lasted only a season and a half, Yuki Tsunoda lasted 22 races and Liam Lawson only two races. Sergio Perez, who stayed for four years, was an exception.

But Hajar has a special advantage: New technical rules force everyone to start from scratch.

“Isak is a very strong driver,” said Steiner

And most importantly, it will start at Red Bull with new rules. “This allows him to co-shape the car with Max, rather than getting into a car that is already built for a single driver.”

Little-known points about Uganda

Uganda had to be content with the one point they got thanks to Uche Ikpeazu, but it was just that, as Alan Okello conceded the next moment with a missed penalty for Tanzania (1-1).

Both teams had come back from losses on their debuts and their success depended on whether they had a real chance of progressing to the finals, but the situation has become very complicated as Tunisia and Nigeria, who play each other on the final day, have a chance of winning. Therefore, the main objective is to consider being one of the four best third parties to advance to the round of 16 as well.

It was an embarrassing result for Uganda, but all things considered, thankfully they managed to save a point. It was a very even match and the second half started with a goal for the opponents (59th minute). This was due to Simoun Msbah’s penalty after a handball in the Baba area. Fortunately, they persevered and Uche scored the equalizer with a flat shot with 10 minutes remaining (80 minutes). Okello, known in his homeland as ‘Starchild’, missed a chance to win after Mnoga’s penalty against Bogere, and his shot went over the bar.

And he continued, “In reality, they took the life preservers and put them on a small boat. Once the life preservers were loaded, they took off like crazy to search for the accident. The captain brought the boat ashore and it was stopped for about 30 minutes. I couldn’t see anything, it was a very dark night and it was raining. And I couldn’t really see anything. They arrived as follows Reported to have saved several people within 30 minutes”.

The ship I’m on is quite old.there are life preservers out there, There is much to be desired. But this is Asia, not Europe, the Canary Islands, or the Mediterranean, where rules must be followed. For us, this boat trip cost 5,600,000 rupees, or about 290 euros,” he concluded.
