Antonelli celebra el gafe de Norris en Madrid
El italiano saca tajada del error de cálculo de McLaren para convertirse en el primer ganador de la historia del Madring
Antonelli celebrates Norris' win in Madrid
In the expansive curve of Monumental, the longest circuit on the schedule and a symbol of the recently launched Madring, the other major feature that generated the most anticipation upon its debut was the massive workshop lane, an unfinished hallway stretching 562 meters. This immense space played a significant role in the outcome of the race that marked Formula 1's return to Madrid after a 45-year absence.
After the first free practice session on Friday, engineers were amazed by the extreme level of tire degradation. "With these data in hand, we'll plan a six-stop strategy," joked Mercedes' CEO Toto Wolff. However, as the weekend progressed, the narrowing of the monoposes combined with another critical factor, leading to a minimal plan for garage visits.
The almost 26 seconds the cars were limited by while passing through the workshops ultimately catapulted Kimi Antonelli to the top of the podium, making him the first winner in the circuit's history.
