A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
At the start of the race Hamilton got tapped from behind by Carlos Sainz's Williams, which caused him to lose control of his car momentarily, resulting in the seven-time world champion dropping places back behind his P13 original starting positions.
Gabriel Bortoleto, trying to get up alongside of Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll using the outside line, was pushed into the wall by the Canadian driver.
The resulting accident damaged the Brazilian front left suspension triggering his DNF.
Later on, trying to overtake Franco Colapinto, Hamilton put his car right in the Alpine's gearbox, and eventually crashing into it, which dettatched the front wing and left Hamilton running over it and incurring in severe downforce loss.
He has since entered the pits and repaired the damage.
