The Mercedes was on Verstappen’s tail with two laps to go but it was not enough. They brought Verstappen in for an early first pit stop on lap 10, leaving Hamilton and Mercedes with no choice but to try to go long and come back at Verstappen later in the race. When he resumed after his stop on lap 37, Hamilton was just under nine seconds behind. Only with two laps to go did Hamilton get the margin under a second, but it was too late and he held on for a superb win. If that transpires, Hamilton will have a mountain to climb in the final four races.
