The FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer confirmed that AlphaTauri had modified the floor on Tsunoda’s AT02 vehicle to one of a different specification than the one he had used on Saturday. There were suspension alterations, as well, which means he must now start from the pit lane, as per parc ferme rules.

If 2021 is going to remembered for anything apart from the corona pandemic it has to be the Verstappen and Hamilton rivalry. Adding to this amazing feud between two of the best racers was their crash at the Italian Grand Prix.

While both the drivers were unhurt, Red Bull called for an inquiry and Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff called it a tactical foul in answer. Whether the foul was tactical or not we will let you decide.

Formula 1 is a cutthroat sport. You are not only up against the rival drivers but also with your own teammates. As the contract of drivers is renewed every year, you have to perform to reserve your seat for another year.

This tension between teammates was the highlight of last year and this year’s Drive to Survive. Do watch the season to find out the last man sitting.

Well if we are talking about last year, how can we leave out the night of Abu Dhabi GP? The night has certainly gone down in history for all the reasons. The Verstappen- Hamilton professional rivalry reached its peak at the end of the race.

We are not going to discuss whether the lap was legitimate or not. But Toto Wolff certainly was sure that the lap should’ve been reinstated. More than the finish, his anger and emotional response to the decision was in the talks. And Drive to Survive gives us more inside look at what Toto and his team were feeling that night.
