Mercedes lodged two complaints about the way the safety car period went at the end of the race, which allowed Verstappen to get the better of Hamilton on the last lap.
“I am disappointed but not surprised that they do it”, reacted Christian Horner, on Canal +. The boss of Red Bull was serene: “Michael Masi [le directeur de course de la F1] made the right decision. It shouldn’t last very long. “
