Red Bull pitted Verstappen under the first VSC on lap nine, caused when Perez pulled off, while Sainz stayed out, before the Spaniard stopped under the second 11 laps later, caused by Mick Schumacher’s Haas stopping out on track. That set up a race defined by tyre offsets, with Sainz closing slowly on Verstappen through their second stints before the Dutchman stopped for a second time on lap 43. Alonso did not stop under either, while both Mercedes drivers did – Hamilton under the first and Russell under the second. That meant Alonso was running sixth behind Ocon and ahead of Leclerc for the final run to the flag. Leclerc was stuck behind Ocon for a long time early in the race.
