“Formula 1 is stuck in a two-tier society”

GREAT BRITAIN: Daily Mail: "This victory - Lewis Hamilton's 97th - will not be remembered as his most extraordinary, but as a testament to relentless, metronomic, rival-destroying reliability it will be just right."

The Guardian: “Lewis Hamilton’s victory at the Portuguese Grand Prix will certainly silence anyone who had even a passing doubt about his determination to win another Formula 1 world title.” ITALY: Greenhouse Courier: “Lewis Hamilton wins the Portuguese Grand Prix like in old times. Before Verstappen and Bottas. With a big gap after starting from third position, because in the end he's the one who makes everything look easy. Victory number 97 in the Brit’s career.”

SPAIN: Brand: “Lewis Hamilton once again gave one of his master classes in talent, ambition and coolness, clearly beating Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas, whom he overtook on the track in two wonderful maneuvers. With the 97th victory of his life, the Englishman consolidates his lead in the World Cup, now eight points ahead of the Dutchman, and leaves the theory of Red Bull's storm on this World Cup in quarantine. FRANCE: Le Figaro: “At the end of a difficult race, both physically and mentally, Lewis Hamilton took victory in Portugal, the 97th of his career. He defeated his rival Max Verstappen (...) and is eight points ahead of the Dutchman in the drivers' championship. A positive weekend for the Brit as he continues his advance.”

AUSTRIA: Krone newspaper: “World champion Lewis Hamilton celebrated his 97th Formula 1 race victory. The Mercedes driver won the Portuguese Grand Prix in Portimão on Sunday ahead of Max Verstappen in the Red Bull and pole position man Valtteri Bottas in the second Mercedes. After a successful overtaking maneuver against Bottas on the 20th lap, Hamilton left nothing to be desired.” SWITZERLAND: Look: “What is once again noticeable in Portimão: it is unbelievable how Formula 1 is stuck in a two-tier society. On one side there would be Hamilton, Verstappen and Bottas on the podium. On the other side – led by Pérez in the Red Bull – the rest of the group will never, ever keep up.”
