    F1 chief Michael Masi slams Lewis Hamilton after Mercedes ace claimed drivers’ lives were put at risk at Tuscan GP

    FORMULA ONE race boss, Michael Masi, says he is personally offended by Lewis Hamilton’s criticism after the crash-hit Tuscan GP.
    World champion Hamilton accused the FIA of putting F1 drivers’ lives at risk in the interests of spicing up the on-track action.

    Hamilton blasted the delay in telling drivers the race was resuming after the safety car period, resulting in his teammate Valtteri Bottas bunching up the field.
    The result was a concertina effect that saw a huge smash involving four cars with Hamilton saying after “they’re obviously trying to make it more exciting but ultimately you’ve seen they’ve put people at risk”.
    But Masi hit back saying he sees the Brit’s remarks as a personal attack because his priority is the drivers’ safety.
    He said: “From an FIA perspective, safety is paramount, full stop. End of story.

    “In my capacity as the race director and safety delegate, point blank, that’s where my role sits as the sporting integrity and safety.
    “And anyone that says otherwise is actually quite offensive.”
    One of the accusations was that the timing of when the lights of the safety car went out, meaning there was little time to prepare for a short dash into turn one at full speed.
    But Masi points out that unlike the F1 stars, the drivers in the junior categories had no problem with their restarts.

    He added: “They can criticise all they want. If we have a look at a distance perspective from where the lights were extinguished to the control line, [it’s] probably not dissimilar, if not longer, than at a number of other venues.
    “At the end of the day, the safety car lights go out where they do, the safety car is in the pit lane.
    “We have the 20 best drivers in the world but drivers in the junior category had a very, very similar restart to what was occurring in the F1 race and they navigated it quite well without incident.”

    Ferrari chief Louis Camilleri admits team are ‘in a hole’ after latest disastrous race on home circuit

    FERRARI chief Louis Camilleri says the Formula One team is stuck “in a hole” after their poor home GP.
    After another embarrassing performance, this time at their own Mugello test track, the CEO of the Italian car company warned results might not improve until 2022.

    Sebastian Vettel finished the race in tenth while Charles Leclerc was promoted from ninth to eighth place after Kimi Raikkonen was given a time penalty.
    To make matters worse for Ferrari, it was all played out in front of chairman John Elkann and Camilleri.
    And after poor results in Spa and Monza, Camilleri said there was no disguising the trouble the team are in.
    He said: “We’re in a hole now, and we know we’re in a hole. It’s a confluence of factors, but anything I say will come across as excuses. And we’re not into excuses.

    “So what matters is to focus on the issues we have and to work hard with determination to get back to what we consider to be our rightful place.”
    New rules have been bumped back a year, so this year’s car designs will be frozen until the end 2021.
    That means Ferrari will not be able to capitalise on many developments with their chassis or engine.
    Camilleri added: “I mean realistically it’s going to be tough.

    “In Formula One we’re always fighting time, both on the track and in development, and there’s no magic bullet.
    “So we’ll take time. I’m hoping with a bit more flexibility in the regs next year we can at least step it up from where we are.
    “Mercedes, hats off to them, they’ve done an incredible job and we’ll see in 2022 with the new regs, whether it creates a reset. That’s our hope.”

    Lewis Hamilton wins crazy Tuscan Grand Prix after three crashes see race stopped TWICE and just 12 cars finish

    LEWIS HAMILTON kept a cool head while others lost theirs to win a frantic Tuscan Grand Prix.
    The Brit overcame losing his lead into turn one, seeing two crashes in seven laps, two red flags and a safety car in the madness at Mugello.

    Reigning world champion Hamilton held off team-mate Valtteri Bottas on a red hot afternoon in Florence to steal another march in the title race.
    Bottas got the jump off Hamilton off the line using the tow into turn one to his advantage, but the Brit repaid the favour later.
    Alex Albon finished third with Daniel Ricciardo fourth as only 12 cars completed the 59-lap race.
    There was early chaos at Mugello with TWO crashes inside seven laps that saw a safety car and a red flag.

    Max Verstappen had a problem on the grid that his mechanics thought they’d fixed.
    But the Dutchman had no power off the line and was involved in the first shunt on the opening lap as his race came to a close.

    Pierre Gasly also crashed out after his heroics to win at Monza last weekend.
    And as the safety car came in and the cars restarted, there was a massive smash down the pack which resulted in the race being suspended.

    Carlos Sainz, Kevin Magnussen, Esteban Ocon, Nicholas Latifi and Antonio Giovinazzi all perished in a nasty collision on the pit straight in the seconds after the race resumed.
    When the racing got going again off the grid, Hamilton used the slipstream to his advantage this time to leapfrog Bottas to take the lead.
    Bottas tried all he could to catch team-mate Hamilton, including demanding different tyres and strategy to his teammate.
    But the Brit pitted after Bottas and copied his team-mates selection to cover off any move.

    There was more drama late on when Lance Stroll spun off in his Racing Point in a scary 180mph crash that forced another red flag.
    And from the resulting restart, Hamilton streaked clear of Bottas and cruised to his sixth win of the season.
    Ricciardo got a flying start off the grid to move into second, but dropped back down to fourth after being passed by Bottas and Albon.
    Hamilton, who wore a shirt before the race to honour Breonna Taylor who was killed by police in Kentucky in March, extended his championship lead even further.

    There was also a special moment at Mugello as Mick Schumacher drove his father’s 2004 world championship-winning Ferrari to mark the team’s 1000th race in F1.
    Unfortunately for Ferrari their drivers Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel finished 8th and 10th respectively.
    The motorsport roadshow moves to Russia in two weeks after passing the halfway point in a truncated 2020 season.

    Watch Mick Schumacher drives his dad’s iconic Ferrari to mark famous Italian brand’s 1000th F1 race

    MICK SCHUMACHER drove his dad’s 2004 Ferrari before the legendary Italian manufacturer’s 1,000th Formula One race.
    Michael’s son paraded around the track before the start of Sunday’s Tuscan Grand Prix.

    The 21-year-old was in the cockpit of the F2004 – the car his dad drove to his seventh and final world championship 16 years ago.
    The demonstration run around the track is part of the festivities put on to mark the Italian brand’s milestone.
    And Ferrari described it as ‘a fitting tribute to the Scuderia’s most successful car and its incomparable driver’.
    Michael, 51, suffered a severe brain injury in a horrific skiing accident in 2014.

    Wife Corinna, Mick and Schumacher’s daughter Gina-Marie care for him in Switzerland.
    The F1 legend is still ‘fighting’ to recover according to best pal Jean Todt – one of a handful of visitors allowed to see the racing great.
    Mick won his first feature race at Monza in Formula 2 last week and is a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy.
    It is not the first time he has taken his dad’s retro model for a spin after throwing it around Hockenheim before the German Grand Prix last year.

    Mick said: “This was always a dream for me to drive this car.
    “I drove the car at Hockenheim last year but to drive it at Mugello in non-rainy conditions has been an absolute honour.
    “Obviously knowing that a lot of kilometres have been done here with this car as well, and to be able to drive it and the second generation to drive it is something very special.
    “I chose this livery because I wanted really to have everything I could for it to be as it was back then.
    “The feeling, the way it was driving and handling was very impressive. I’m sure some miles off what it was doing back then but it’s incredible.
    “Thank you to Ferrari for this opportunity. ”

    Other special arrangements for Ferrari hitting four figures include a one-off burgundy colour scheme on their SF1000 cars.
    Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc will race in the colour shade in a nod to the manufacturer’s origins.
    The unique livery was first seen on the first racing car ever to carry the iconic Ferrari name.

    Hamilton, 35, endured a nightmare race last weekend, finishing seventh as Pierre Gasly surprisingly secured a shock victory.
    But the Frenchman crashed back down to earth with a bump in Tuscany, failing to get out of Q1.
    Former champion Sebastian Vettel did make it out of Q1… just – but will start tomorrow’s race in 14th as his disastrous final season at Ferrari looks set to continue in disappointing fashion.
    Meanwhile there was less good news for Hamilton’s compatriot Lando Norris, as he failed to reach Q3 for the first time this season in the McLaren.

    As for the six-time champion himself, Hamilton will be looking to get back to winning ways after edging out Bottas in second and Red Bull star Max Verstappen in third.
    He said: “It’s been a really tough weekend, this track is phenomenal.
    “It’s a really, really challenging circuit.
    “Valtteri was quicker than me all day yesterday and even this morning.
