However, this could not stop the seven-time world champion from winning the race for GP Sao Paulo. Fernando Alonso, just like before him Max Verstappen, believes that this is completely illogical punishment.
After it is Hamilton with his new internal combustion engine in his car he drove on the track in Interlagos, turned out to have much higher speed. It is with extra power British easily nullified the five-place mark-up penalty. On Saturday sprint race, where he had to start from the beginning due to disqualification (violation of the DRS system), and on Sunday races he easily replaced these lost places.
Max Verstappen he said he found this one manner of punishment due to engine replacement illogical. The first change of engine after the allowed contingent of the racer costs ten places, and every next one five places. "In theory, Mercedes can insert a new internal combustion engine for each race, get a five-point mark-up penalty from taking advantage of higher engine capacity," he said Dutchman.
In an interview with a Spanish newspaper AS, is Fernando Alonso totally agreed with Verstappen. According to the team racer AlpineF1 it is not good for regulations to work in this way Mercedes. According to the Spaniard, he has Mercedes in this way almost free exchanges engine. So I would like to see that this is different. “Those who have exceeded the permitted number of engines per year must be placed at the start of the starting line each time."
