That's Magic

Hamilton’s hopes vanish with press of a button

Lewis Hamilton’s “magic button” was to blame for his misfortune while Max Verstappen’s bad luck was of a very different variety.

Accidentally switching on the system which changes the balance of his brakes saw Hamilton’s chance to retake the championship lead go up in smoke.

Verstappen’s opportunity to extend his lead in the drivers’ standings went bang in Baku thanks to a 200mph blow-out.

Sergio Perez took full advantage to ease Red Bull’s pain with a maiden win for his team.
