8 Whatever he did, he couldn’t quite throw away the win. First-corner shenanigans versus Leclerc deserved a penalty, and then he perhaps pushed too hard too soon and medium tyres didn’t hold on. But low-drag set-up got him back to the lead, and he did all he could to try to secure a Red Bull 1-2.

8 At times looked comfortable in the lead. Victory hopes helped immensely by safety car timing, but made ground after early stop where others did not after first-lap contact. Choice of higher-drag rear wing cost speed on straight, leaving him vulnerable to Leclerc’s daring last-lap pass.
