Lewis Hamilton in the lead while driving behind the safety car – only to be passed by the Red Bull of Max Verstappen, who would go on to take the glory. He was three seconds behind pole-sitter Verstappen before Hamilton started cutting his way back into the race. On the hard tyre, Hamilton started cutting into Verstappen’s lead in the hope of going the race distance with only one pitstop. But on lap 56, it was Hamilton’s turn for a long-overdue slice of luck. Verstappen decided to stop again, but curiously Hamilton had stayed out, promoting him to the lead.
