F1 phenomenon Lewis Hamilton does it again with his record-breaking 100th win at the Russian Grand Prix. What an exciting F1 race today with an array of track drama with Verstappen starting last and Hamilton losing three spots from a poor start. Verstappen quickly charged up the leaderboard, dispensing with Bottas and others along the way.
The McLarens ran a great race as the young Lando Norris lead with five laps remaining when the rainfall began. Hamilton pitted for intermediate rain tires while Norris stayed out on the track. That decision cost him the victory since the British driver spun out, handing Hamilton the lead and his 100th Grand Prix victory! Verstappen finished second with a super impressive drive.
The young guns are coming up in F1 and setting the tone for modern-day F1 aggression. Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton, who can now be considered the G.O.A.T. of Formula 1! The British race announcers were also superb today as they vicariously embedded ESPN TV viewers to the “edge of your seat” atmosphere of the race.
See you Sunday, October 10 for the Turkish Grand Prix held at the Istanbul Park Circuit.
