Lewis Hamilton experienced the pain once felt by Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna as he and his fellow drivers finished the Italian Grand Prix behind a safety car on Sunday.
Max Verstappen won the race at Monza ahead of Charles Leclerc. The Italian crowd was furious that it concluded behind the safety car after Daniel Ricciardo's late mechanical problem, which left the Ferrari star unable to attempt an overtake on the championship leader.
But, as the FIA pointed out in a statement that evening, the rules had been correctly followed and applied in this case, even if it did produce an anticlimactic conclusion to the race. However, things had infamously been done differently late last year, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
