Formula One’s Zhou Guanyu escapes injury after terrifying crash
Sainz’s chances, meantime, seemed to dim when he followed a team order to allow teammate Charles Leclerc to pass through at one point. But a late safety car restart allowed Sainz to emerge with the win as Perez, Hamilton and Leclerc battled behind him for second. Leclerc finished fourth.Hamilton seemed well-positioned until the safety car was deployed and he lost position to Perez on the restart.
“I gave it everything today, I was trying to chase down those Ferraris. Congratulations to Carlos, in the end I was in that battle but those guys were just too quick on the straights for us today,” Hamilton said on the Sky Sports post-race telecast. “We lost a bit of time in the pit stops, and then I was chasing and chasing, but the pace was good on both stint.”Hamilton now has had two straight podium finishes. “This is a huge bonus for us to be on the podium,” he said.
Max Verstappen, the Red Bull driver who is the defending Formula One champion and current standings leader, fell from the lead after his car rolled over debris. He finished seventh. Formula One officials also said that several fans had attempted to invade the track after the crash. “We can confirm that after the red flag, several people attempted to enter the track,” the organization told the BBC. “These people were immediately removed and the matter is now being dealt with by the local authorities.”
