• Chronicle.Hamilton overcomes the chaos of Mugello

• World Cup 2020. Hamilton, with 55 points of advantage

• Carlos Sainz. "A sanction that I do not wish on anyone"

The scene brought to mind that unfortunate August 30, 1998 in Spa, when a multiple collision in the rain knocked out seven cars in a single stroke.

That Belgian GP saw the most chaotic start in recent F1 history, with wheels and all kinds of parts flying through the air.

Yesterday, on the finish line of Mugello, one of the old school circuits that seemed to excite the drivers so much, four cars were smashed in the worst multiple accident of this century.

A cluster of fatalities that was about to unleash a true tragedy.

Carlos Sainz

,

,

and

were involved in a terrible heap from which they miraculously emerged without physical damage.

«It was a feeling that I do not wish on anyone, because it was at a very high speed.

It is a very dangerous situation that should not be repeated ”, commented the Spaniard as soon as he got out of the car.

What exactly was Carlos referring to?

What is F1 to avoid again?

The chain of errors was so dangerous because, at the moment of impact, the speed of the damaged cars was around 280 km / h.

The main person responsible was

, race director, with a very hasty decision.

He notified the security car late, which took too long to announce his withdrawal from the track.

The

turned off its lights in the last corner and the slowness of

, the leader at the time, excessively compressed the spaces in the middle of the peloton.

No one could overtake until the finish line was passed, but the nerves had already been unleashed.

The first to move and change the line was Latifi, with only eight races of experience at the Gran Circo.

And from there chaos broke out.

Article 39.13

The stewards called Latifi, Magnussen and

, the only one who was able to escape without damage to his car,

to testify

.

After almost two hours of deliberations, they sanctioned 12 pilots with a 'warning' for violating article 39.13 of the Sports Regulations.

This text prohibits any acceleration, braking or other erratic maneuver that endangers the rivals at the moment the

lights go out

.

The decision of the FIA, washing their hands and solving everything with a testimonial punishment, cannot satisfy any of the protagonists.

, with his 90th win under his arm, did not hesitate to load the ink: "They are trying to make racing something more exciting, but today they put us at risk."

Bottas, despite the anger of the second place, influenced this line: "My team has been told that they will continue in this line, because it is better for the show."

Masi, irritated by the accusations, replied fiercely.

“From the point of view of the FIA, safety is paramount.

End of story.

As a career director, that is where my role is based.

It is quite offensive for someone to say otherwise ”, the Italian, in office since March 2019, after the sudden death of

.

Since Singapore 2017

“I am not going to point out anyone until I have analyzed everything properly.

Maybe we should double-check the system, "added Sainz, whose impact on Giovinazzi was only alleviated by the halo structure of his MCL-35.

Since the 2017 Singapore GP there have not been eight retirements in the same race.

This factor was Ferrari's main relief, with

and

reaching the points after a close contest with

Williams

.

The other team that was able to get its two cars to the finish line was Mercedes.

Hamilton's triumph, ahead of a frustrated Bottas, practically resolves his seventh title.
