Running three abreast on the long run down to the first corner, Verstappen displayed precision and nerves of steel as he braked late and took the two Mercedes cars around the outside to seize the lead. “There was not much they could do. They were already side by side and I just went three wide,” added Verstappen, who now has nine wins for the season to Hamilton’s five.
