MERCEDES
LEWIS HAMILTON
Started 3rd----------Result 9th
4 Mistakes add up: his last-lap Turn 16 slide meant an unlikely pole shot lost; post-start wheelspin meant Sainz powered past; sliding while chasing wore his inters worse; and his half-distance lock-up and off was a major error. Then gifted Verstappen a place with his botched late attack on Vettel.
GEORGE RUSSELL
Started 20th---Result 14th
3 Gets benefit of the doubt over Q2 exit with suspected brake issue. Locked up and clipped Bottas soon after his pitlane start. Mercedes made his gamble for slicks and he eventually got them working. But he lost a points shot with needless Schumacher contact after second safety car restart.
