Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton keeps his cool amid the mayhem caused by an unpredictable circuit, winning a crash-marred Tuscan Grand Prix for the 90th win of his incredible career to close in on Michael Schumacher's record.
DNF – Carlos Sainz, Lance Stroll, Kevin Magnussen, Antonio Giovinazzi, Max Verstappen, Nicholas Latifi, Esteban Ocon, Pierre GaslyAfter a standing start with 50 laps to go he found himself in the podium positions following a tactical pit stop.
"It was all a bit of daze. It was like three races in one day. Just incredibly tough today," a relieved Hamilton said.Bottas pushed hard and got to within 1.1 seconds of Hamilton on the penultimate lap, but the British driver clocked a fastest lap on the last one to take a bonus point. The shooting has sparked months of protests in Louisville, Kentucky, with calls for the officers to be charged over her death."It took me a long time to get that shirt, and I've been wanting to wear that and bring awareness to the fact that there's people that have been killed on the street and there's someone that got killed in her own house."Red Bull's Max Verstappen was one of the drivers who crashed out early.
"It was a dream start for me," said Bottas, who could not profit from it because of the imminent crashes. "It's really dangerous like that. Those at the front have to think of those behind," Giovinazzi said. "We were flat out.""They want to kill us or what?" asked French driver Romain Grosjean, who narrowly avoided crashing. "This is the worst thing I have seen."When the race re-started it was on the grid, meaning Bottas was on pole ahead of Hamilton.
