Overall a fine one for the sport in the most trying of circumstances. Lap 54/55: Verstappen is told over the radio to “bring it home”. Lap 53/55: Verstappen leads by 11 and a half seconds with two laps left. Lap 43/55: How they stand update: 1 Verstappen 2 Bottas 3 Hamilton 4 Albon 5 Norris 6 Sainz 7 Ricciardo 8 Gasly 9 Stroll 10 Ocon. Lap 39/55: Verstappen lets his lead drop a touch but it remains unthreatened in general. Lap 37/55: Verstappen now leading by 8.1sec, with Bottas second and Hamilton third. Lap 23/55: Sure enough, Leclerc goes into the pits and comes out at the back.
