The race was punctured by crashes, three safety cars and an aborted start as the Briton succeeded after forcing to fend off late threat from Verstappen. Lewis Hamilton  who was leading on lap 46, but as Ferrari made the wrong decision to stay out on dry-weather slick tyres, finished 10^th on a difficult day for  Ferrari, with George Russell ending third for Mercedes. Charles Leclerc had to pit as a safety car was sent out for the final time following a series of clashes and dropped to the bottom of the top 10. In the final restart, Hamilton was overtaken by Leclerc, as the Monegasque sought to recover from a spin at Turn 11 under the safety car that cost him four positions, the Ferraris touching wheels lightly in the incident.
