How it played out

• Hamilton started on pole, but contact with Leclerc at Turn 4 let Verstappen, who started P5, slip into second.

• Leclerc picked up a 5-second penalty for leaving the track, and Red Bull pitted Verstappen at the same time to jump him and take the lead.

• A red flag after Bottas' suspension failure and a late Safety Car after Lindblad's crash set up two restarts, and Hamilton pressured Max to the flag.

• Post-race penalties hit Piastri, Colapinto and Gasly.

Verstappen is now two points ahead of Hamilton for P2 in the standings.
