Drama at lap 8: Ricciardo puled out Magnussen and damaged his front wing. No effect on the aero balance told by the team. A 5 seconds penalty was committed to the Aussie.

Hamilton was the first top driver to pit: another fresh se of Soft for the Briton at lap 21. But the drama happened a lap later with leader Verstappen almost colliding with Kubica at the pit exit. The Dutch re claimed the lead just one more lap on.

Ferrari tactic for Vettel was pivoting on Medium set of Pirelli.

Another waltz of pit stop with 30 laps to go: Hamilton stopped the car for the harder compound, with Verstappen shadowing Lexis on the following lap.

It was a great day for Gasly, Raikkonen and both Haas drivers. Ricciardo said it was ‘’not a disaster’’ to miss out on Q3.

Leclerc battle was now reversed: he had to defend from Bottas ramping on him at Senna chicane at lap 48. But the Finn was out of the games a few laps later with an engine issue.
