In lap 39 his podium aspirations got a set back when he was passed by Mercedes drivers Bottas and Hamilton. Nico Hulkenberg who never has won a race and a podium in F1 was driving on P2 right after the safety car disappeared. One lap later race leader Valtteri Bottas did the same one lap later and came back on P3. His front wing broke and Hamilton crossed over the track to the pit entry on the wrong side of the bollard to get a new front wing and intermediate tyres.ĭuring the safety car period Max Verstappen switched back to new intermediate tyres driving on P2. This crash caused a safety car session and at that moment Lewis Hamilton also crashed into the wall that Leclerc did. It started to rain more and the last section of track was getting much wetter and became the Waterloo for Leclerc who could not make turn 16 and got trapped in the gravel pit. Lando Norris retired his McLaren with a gearbox problem and again caused a virtual safety car session in which Lelcerc and Hamilton did their his pitstop for slicks.

A lap later Sebastian Vettel also switched to Soft slick tyres. Kevin Magnussen was the first to switch to slicks on lap 23. In lap 22 Verstappen got real close to DRS Bottas, but all drivers on intermediate tyres had warn out tyres and were waiting for rain to cool them down. He lost 25 seconds with his spin but was lucky to go on. Carlos Sainz had a narrow escape when he spun of the track in turn 16 and almost hit the barrier, but was able to go on. The only one who pitted for new intermediate tyres was Ferrari driver Leclerc. The Renault power unit of Ricciardo's car blew up in lap 14 and caused a short virtual safety car period.
