F1 | Portuguese GP, the Raikkonen-Giovinazzi contact after the start [VIDEO]

We report the contact between the Alfa Romeos of Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi on the first lap of the last Portuguese Grand Prix, the third round of the 2021 Formula 1 world championship.

Despite a good start, the Biscione standard-bearers touched during an attempted attack by the Finn, who irreparably damaged the wing (the damage led to his retirement). A wasted opportunity also from a points perspective, given the pace it could have led the two cars to fight for positions close to the points zone.

GP Portugal, the race

At the end of a good battle with Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas, who did well to take pole position in yesterday's qualifying, Lewis Hamilton managed to secure his second victory of the season, an aspect which allowed him to move up in the world rankings against the rival of Red Bull.

Hamilton, after a lackluster start, managed to overtake first the Dutchman's Red Bull and then the Finnish Mercedes, who appeared lackluster in some phases of the race. An undoubtedly important result that will allow him to fly to Barcelona with "extra" motivation.

Fourth position for a concrete Sergio Perez, followed by Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc's Ferrari, who appeared to be in difficulty with the harder tyres. Esteban Ocon, Fernando Alonso, Daniel Ricciardo and Pierre Gasly complete the top ten lineup. Carlos Sainz outside the top ten due to a lackluster strategy on medium tyres.

Appointment in seven days, in Barcelona, ​​for the Spanish Grand Prix, fourth round of this 2021 Formula 1 world championship. Verstappen will try to make the most of Montmelò's "friendly" characteristics to put pressure on the world champion team, which has appeared in a clear recovery after the difficulties of the first GPs.
