          • Deception (50%)

          • Deception (50%)
            The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Max Verstappen's domination of Formula One stalled after he retired from the race on lap four due to a brake failure. However, this statement is misleading as Verstappen was leading at the time of his retirement and had not been dominating the race prior to his departure. Secondly, it states that George Russell crashed while chasing Fernando Alonso for sixth place in an attempt to overtake him on Turn Six on the final lap. However, this statement is also misleading as Russell did not crash due to a mistake by Alonso but rather because he lost control of his car after accelerating too early and then braking. Finally, it states that Lewis Hamilton retired from the race after 16 laps with an engine failure. However, this statement is false as Hamilton finished the race in second place.
