Having failed to win any of five races immediately after the August break, Hamilton-with two victories in the space of seven days-is well and truly back in the groove.Īfter finally conquering his start-line issues in the week prior to the United States GP, as he told Sky Sports television, and with Rosberg requiring only a smattering of podium finishes to secure his first world championship, Hamilton's task is straightforward. The steward referred to is the FIA's Gary Connelly, who Verstappen spoke out against in the wake of another decision going against him.The damage may already have been done, but the late-summer gloom has lifted at last. "If you look at the consistency of decision making, that is what is disappointing." "After Mexico last year where there was at least one steward that was involved in that decision, and it was agreed that to avoid the debacle of Mexico where there were three different people appearing on the podium, to take a breath to understand and listen to the drivers. "I think they were desperate to get the right people on the podium, but then they jumped to a conclusion without considering all of the facts," said Horner. Then, Verstappen was handed a similar post-race penalty for cutting the track and removed from the pre-podium room.īut Sebastian Vettel, who moved ahead of him for third, was later penalised for moving under braking - which meant Daniel Ricciardo was eventually classified third. Red Bull boss Christian Horner was especially angry that the snap decision meant there was no way for Verstappen to explain himself, and believes the decision was a legacy of events in Mexico last year. That decision prompted widespread criticism about a lack of consistency from the stewards, and left Verstappen furious that rules were "killing the sport".
