Lewis Hamilton’s questionable move against Lando Norris during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has stirred controversy in the F1 world. The veteran driver’s tactics to defend his position have raised eyebrows and drawn criticism, with renowned commentator Martin Brundle describing the move as “a bit naughty.”
In a nail-biting duel between Hamilton and Norris, the McLaren driver found himself thwarted by the strategic maneuvers of the seven-time world champion. Hamilton’s clever yet controversial tactics involved deliberately slowing down before a corner to allow Norris to pass, only to reovertake him using the DRS zone on the main straight.
This risky move by Hamilton, reminiscent of a similar incident involving Max Verstappen in 2021, has sparked debate among fans and experts alike. While some view it as a cunning display of racecraft, others see it as crossing the line of fair play in Formula 1.
The tense showdown between Hamilton and Norris not only added drama to the race but also highlighted the fine line between competitive racing and unsportsmanlike conduct. As the F1 season unfolds, all eyes will be on how drivers navigate these high-pressure situations while vying for victory on the track.
