LEWIS HAMILTON
Started 5th—Result 4th
9 Was the lead Mercedes driver, barring Russell’s safety-car-stop fortune. Made a great start to pass Perez, and superior tyre management helped him overcut at the stops too. Felt he couldn’t challenge Russell’s podium because his car was overheating in his team-mate’s wake.

GEORGE RUSSELL
Started 6th—Result 3rd
9 Nearly beat Hamilton in qualifying, did get outqualified by Norris, but made a decisive pass at the first corner and from there raced well. Lucked in on timing of second safety car, but defied Perez before wisely choosing not to fight a much faster car. Comfortable in front of Hamilton late on.
