In the end this was won by Lewis Hamilton after 52 laps but forget 51 of them, the story here was about nine thrilling corners on the opening one that completely changed the complexion of the title race. The gap from Charles LeClerc to Lewis Hamilton is now just under four seconds. So the challenge for Lewis Hamilton is to make up an 8.3 second gap to Charles LeClerc. His lead is now just under 7 seconds to Valtteri Bottas, Lando Norris third 11 seconds back, and Hamilton fourth 13 seconds back. If Lewis Hamilton pits at this time he will rejoin behind Lando Norris due to his penalty. Despite his issues Charles LeClerc is doing a great job keeping a 2.3 seconds lead over Hamilton. I was saying it will take some race for Charles LeClerc to win in his Ferrari and he is leading the race from Lewis Hamilton who is under investigation with Valtteri Bottas in third.
