BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX - MAX VERSTAPPEN AND RED BULL TOOK CONTROL! Finished.

Yes, Hamilton has declared how hard he had driven; how he had done everything he could to extract a win with a car which was not the best on the day of the the race, or the weekend.  

And which was simply not capable of fending off the dominance of Team Red Bull and the consummate racing of Max. 

But it was to no avail; and it sounded trite, sad and terrible unfortunate when it is realised that that pointless desperation led to the incident which deprived Alex Albon of an otherwise certain Podium position.

And so the morale and lesson for both Hamilton and Team Mercedes, is that they should never resort to a desperation or desperate strategy and racing.  

In attempting to win a race which is not there for them to win, and is more likely to result in mistakes and mishaps which cause them to  look inept. 

This approach is unbecoming a racer of Hamilton and a team of Mercedes status.

Hamilton does need to better control his verbal display of negative emotions when the going becomes tough, and dig deeper. 

And, if when he digs deeper, he still cannot find any resolve to enhance his car's performance or his Team's race strategy, then he should resort to patience and more mental resilience. 

Too much grumbling can negatively impact his team and contribute toward poor decision and action. 

Superior strategies and tactics win races; desperate strategies and tactics not only lose races, but they also result in undesirable outcomes for self and others.

All of the above and more were all parts of a rather crazy but very exciting day at the Brazilian Grand Prix. 

An iconic race circuit which has never failed to keep racers, cars and spectators on their wheels and feet.
