HAMILTON RUNNING OUT OF TIME TO SNATCH SECOND SPOT FROM SERGIO PEREZ
Lewis Hamilton is facing a crucial moment at the upcoming F1 Mexico Grand Prix as he aims to recover from his disqualification at the USA GP. Currently in third place on the F1 leaderboards, Hamilton is running out of races to overtake Sergio Perez and secure second place.
HAMILTON STRIPPED OF PODIUM FINISH AFTER FAILING POST-RACE INSPECTION
At the USA GP, Hamilton crossed the finish line in second place behind Max Verstappen. However, he was later disqualified due to a post-race inspection that revealed an issue with the titanium skidblock on his car. This resulted in Sergio Perez extending his lead over Hamilton by an additional 12 points.
FOUR MORE RACES TO TURN IT ALL AROUND
Hamilton has four more races left in this year's campaign to make up ground and secure second place in the F1 standings. The Mexico Grand Prix will be a crucial opportunity for him to bounce back and regain momentum.
