Russell Wins Brazilian Sprint Race, Carlos Sainz Recital

mercedes Back to top. After an early trouble-filled season with a complicated car concept, the stars took a step forward to get to this Saturday. George Russell Although it was a sprint race, it was the first win for the Silver Arrows team. They want to fight for everything in 2023. And their best referral is short sleeves today. They hit the table critically to warn of their intentions for this Sunday and the upcoming course. mercedes is already there, like George Russell won the award for his first great season on Brackley in front Carlos Sainz (2nd place) People who ate snacks Verstappen At Turn 1 on lap 19 (4th), with 5 laps to go he made a sensational move, defending his position with courage and strength against the fast Hamilton (3rd). Sainz did a recital but did not finish second on the day and will start from seventh due to an engine change.

With that penalty, the first row of the starting grid goes to Russell and Hamilton, who hope to steal the win from Verstappen, who starts from third.

Sainz to ‘killer’

Who said Carlos doesn’t have the ‘killer’ side of Leclerc or Verstappen? He took advantage of how much the Dutch had suffered with average rubber to silence the critics. Sainz sniffed the smell of blood and involuntarily attacked his prey. He warned ahead of this GP that Carlos from 2021 to the previous year is ready to come back. he proved it.If you have a fast car, you can win MaxHe warned on Thursday that Max was not invincible and showed it on Sunday. The Spaniard reacts on the track to those who don’t see him as a potential champion. It depends on the condition of your car and tires. Carlos It’s clearly not from early in the season when he had a lot of trouble adapting to a car that was hostile to his style. Neither Carlos nor Leclerc were able to beat Max due to the biggest tire deterioration in the long race since before the summer. However, with the sprint scheduled, on a circuit where Ferrari seemed to pick up the pace, things changed this time due to Max’s mistake in tire choice.Fast car, good degradation, Sainz Verstappen and Hamilton.

This time, Max was the only one who made a mistake in starting from the top with medium rubber instead of soft rubber. He paid for it and Sainz took advantage of it brilliantly.

Carlos’ career has been a highly intellectual one. Hamilton, who had better tires and pace, put pressure on him on lap 16, but Sainz came on strong, closing the door several times on the correct line. Not only that, S.Ainz stayed in the DRS position with Max to fend off Hamilton. And when he saw the opportunity, heHe knocked Max down with a single ax blow. He took a bet and his right rear wheel hit Max’s front wing, breaking the left side of the wing. It took Hamilton a good amount of time to pass Verstappen, allowing Carlos to gain enough of an advantage to finish second behind him.

He was able to beat Verstappen in the weekend’s short race. Carlos Sainz has five penalty positions to replace combustion chambers, so it’s not synonymous with Sunday, moving up from 2nd on the grid to his 7th on the grid before the comeback as the car I’m confident in the good pace I’ve shown. Verstappen starts third and hopes to reclaim himself. In long races Max is still a favorite. The big question is whether Russell and Mercedes can team up with good degradation and race pace to beat the Dutchman. George showed him one of the clues. “We might be able to diversify our strategy.” They want to hit hard.

Alonso explodes against Ocon, drops 5″

Fernando Alonso started seventh in a desire to move up a position this Saturday with an eye on Sunday’s starting grid, but his weekend ended in a Double touch with partner OconThe Spaniard attempted to pass Esteban from the outside at Turn 4, but the Frenchman extended himself and touched them both. The Asturian miraculously saved a spin after accelerating his car on the curb, and moments later on the finishing straight where Fernando tried to pass Esteban, contact between the Asturian and the Frenchman saw Fernando pull over his front wing. I could have started in the points tomorrow, but now I’m starting far behind. Alonso was the only one who had to pit to fit the new wing and was the last to come out on the track and was able to regain his position until the 15th final.

“I lost my front wing because of a friend,” he said sarcastically, later complaining more forcefully: “He pushed me into Turn 4. And finally, he pushed me. Pushed straight down. Great!”.

In the first action Ocon didn’t leave any space for Fernando, but in the second action there was no turning of the steering wheel with Ocon on board. After the race, Fernando assured the stewards that he had not calculated the slipstream exit time correctly, which ultimately resulted in him being penalized five inches, demoting Sunday’s starting position from 15th to 18th, with Ocon ( 17th).

For that part friday hero kevin magnussen, he was able to stretch his dream for three laps, the time it took Verstappen to pass him. He had no rhythm and dropped to fourth in front of Perez (5th), Leclerc (6th), Norris (7th), Magnussen (8th), Vettel (9th) and Gasly (10th). rice field.
