The Hungarian F1 2021 event yesterday presented a lot of drama. From the drama in the qualifying session, accidents during the race session, and the reduction of scores for podium winners were all presented on Sunday, August 1, 2021, at the Hongaroring Circuit yesterday.
The drama began when Lewis Hamilton won pole position in the 2021 Hungarian F1 qualifying. However, there is a little spice with controversy there. It was related to Lewis Hamilton's actions which were considered to be deliberately going slow in front of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez at the end of the Q3 session. As a result, the Red Bull racer, Max Verstappen, almost failed to achieve the maximum time. In fact, Max Verstappen's teammateSergio Perez, failed to make time because of Lewis Hamilton's trap. Because of this tactic, Lewis Hamilton immediately received ridicule from Verstappen supporters in the stands. However, based on information from the organizers, what Lewis Hamilton did was not illegal and he was free from the sanction of reducing time or retreating in the starting order.
Furthermore, due to a strategy error when restart over red flag, Lewis Hamilton, only managed to finish in third place. Even though he only finished the race in third place, this achievement was enough for Lewis Hamilton to win the top position of the 2021 F1 standings from Max Verstappen's hands.. Lewis Hamilton picked up an additional 15 points and now has 192 points.
Meanwhile, Max Verstappen, who finished the race in 10th place, only won 1 point so that he now drops to 2nd place in the standings with 186 points. Behind the two drivers are Lando Norris, Valtteri Bottas, Sergio Perez, and Charles Leclerc whose positions have not changed in the standings table. The four drivers all failed to finish after being involved in an accident at the first corner of the first lap of the race.
Meanwhile, Esteban Ocon, who won the race, moved up to 11th place with 39 points. In the constructors' championship, Mercedes also managed to overtake Red Bull and is now 10 points ahead. However, a few hours after the 2021 Hungarian F1 race was completed, the FIA announced that the Aston Martin Team racerSebastian Vettel was disqualified from the second podium position because he could not meet the regulations for the amount of remaining fuel to be checked by the FIA..
Quoted from the official Formula 1 website, after the race was over Sebastian Vettel stopped because the fuel was too little to be used as an inspection sample. According to regulations, there must be at least one liter left in the car tank at the end of the race so that the FIA can check. In fact, the FIA was only able to remove 0.3 liters from the tank of Sebastian Vettel's Aston Martin car..
