Who crosses the finish line in the first place determines his position and points in Formula 1. This is not big news, but it is true that sometimes even this ranking "stands" on shaky ground.
The American Grand Prix was interesting not only because, in addition to the traditional race, the competitors also had to contend with a sprint race this weekend, but also the victory of the traditional race was not clear.
Verstappen, who only started from 6th place, still climbed to 1st place and the seven-time world champion Hamilton ran after him. But... And here comes the twist, because during the random check, a "bib" was discovered on the floor plate of Lewis Hamilton's car, and Charles Leclerc was in a similar way. As a result, 2nd and 6th place were taken away from Hamilton and Leclerc, respectively.
After Max Verstappen, therefore, Lando Norris came in 2nd and Carlos Sainz in 3rd place.
