168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen had to fight back f♓rom a five-second time penalty to win a thrilling race that featured two Safety Cars and incidents aplenty as the so-called entertainment capital of the world 🔯delivered.

A lot had been made about the weekend, w♏hich started amid far🌸cical scenes when a loose drain cover caused chaos by heavily disrupting Thursday’s practice schedule. 

The race also faced criticism from several drivers, with triple world champion Verstappen bꩵeing the loudest voice against F1’s return to Las Vegas, complaining the event was “99% show”. 

Alಌthough he did not directly mention his former title rival by name, Hamilton appeared to have a slight dig at Verstappen after Saturday evening’s race. 

“I am really happy, I had a positive race,”ꦕ Hamilton told Sky. 

“I’m grateful that the ra🐻ce was so good, there was so much overtaking, like Baku but better! I wasn’t expecting the track to be so great. There were🐲 lots of overtaking opportunities.

“I think for all those who were so nega🎃tive about the weekend, saying it was all about the show blah blah blah, I think Vegas proved them wrong.”

The seven-time world champion recovered from a puncture to fi✨nish seventh, ahead of🧸 Mercedes teammate George Russell who took eighth after serving a five-second time penalty for a mid-race collision with Verstappen.

“A really challenging race,” Hamilton explained. “I started on the hard tyre which was tricky. I got hit from behind - a big hit. I think it was Carlosಌ? I tried to not hit the cars that had spun round. I fell back, I think five or six places🐷. After that, I felt great. Tyres were feeling good, pace was strong.

"I went up the inside of Piastri. I don’t know exactly🌺 what happened. I obviously got the hit from behind, I think it was a racing incident. 

“I felt a thud, I didn’t have a puncture immediately. I was accelerating and, 𒊎as I got to the pitlane entry, I felt the rear was moving. It was too late to come in. I had to do a whole slow lap. I must have lost 40s or something.

“Grateful I was able to come back. Apologies to the team for the poor qualifying. There are strengths in our car bꦜut sometimes it’s h🔯ard to get performance out of it."
