The pilot of the “Red Bull” team Max Vertappen became the winner of the 15th stage of the Formula-1 championship-the Grand Prix of Malaysia, which took place on Sunday. The Dutchman finished the first in the race at the Sepang Avtodrome and won a second victory in his career.
“From the very beginning of the race, the car felt good, and I saw that Lewis was experiencing clutch problems, so I used the power of the car as far as I could,” the winner of Sky Sports quotes. “Besides, Hamilton has something to lose, so I decided to get around it. The car was incredible, it was a very difficult race and an excellent victory.”
The second to the finish line was the leader of the season, Briton Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes, and the Troika was closed by a partner of Verteppen from Red Bull Australian Daniel Rickyardo.
The German pilot Sebastian Vettel became one of the heroes of the Grand Prix of Singapore, making a breakthrough from twentieth place to the fourth final position.
We add that in the personal standings, Hamilton (281) broke away from Vettel (247) by 34 points.
