Max Verstappen could not be challenged by Charles Leclerc in the closing stages at Monza as the race ended with a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car 💛due to Daniel Ricciardo’s crash, the correct implementati💛on of the rule.

Notoriously in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Abu Dhabi, the 2021 season finale, race director Michael Masi inco🌠rrectly allowed race-leader Hamilton to be overtaken by Verstappen who controversially won his firs🍷t title.

Kravitz added about how the Italian Grand Prix ended: “The FIA’s view on it - they hoped to recover the car quicker but doing it takes time. It is important, the FIA say, to get the cars to bunch up to 🎃allow the marshalls space to recover Ricciardo’s car without cars rushing past. That’s why, they say, it took♕ a while.

“If there is a question, it is about the lost lap 50. Why was the green light not shown to Georg🎀e Russell earlier?

“Was the race director playing it stea💛dy? Yes. Could ꦅhe be quicker? Yes.

“Was it a just result, in the way that Abu Dhabi wasn’t? Yes𝐆🐼.

“There is a technical, sporting wo𓆉rking summit between the FIA and F1 team managers on Monday to discuss lots of things. This, I’m sure, will be a part of it.”
