October 23, 2023

"Why do they have to kick me while I'm down?"

AUSTIN—In a shocking turn of events at the US Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, was disqualified by the FIA for narrowing the points gap with Red Bull. It really stressed them out. Charles Leclerc, too, faced disqualification, but just because that's the kind of year he's having.


Hamilton's performance at the Circuit of the Americas was nothing short of spectacular. He displayed his extraordinary racing skills, making an impressive run in the later stages of the race. Red Bull, who had been comfortably leading the championship, suddenly found themselves under immense pressure as Hamilton closed the points gap with his second place finish.


After the race, the disqualification of both Hamilton and Leclerc was met with disbelief by fans and the motorsport community. The decision raised eyebrows, as no specific regulation violations were cited. Some called it a bizarre and unprecedented move.


In response to his disqualification, Hamilton expressed his frustration, stating, "I can't believe that a strong performance and reducing the gap in points is now seen as a violation. We're here to race and win, and that's exactly what we did today. Makes since that we're close to Halloween cause Red Bull is clearly scared.


Leclerc, who was equally perplexed by the decision, commented, "Why do they have to kick me while I'm down?"


The disqualifications have sparked debates among fans and experts. While some believe it was a strategic move to maintain suspense and excitement in the championship, others argue that it sets a concerning precedent in Formula 1. As the motorsport world eagerly awaits the drama to unfold, one question lingers, "Was it truly about narrowing the points gap, or is there more to this story?"
