The cars returned to the grid with fresh tyres for a two-lap sprint to decide the winner but in a chaotic restart, Williams driver Logan Sargeant drove into the back of AlphaTauri’s Nyck de Vries to knock both of them into gravel at turn one. That enabled Verstappen to claim his second win of the season ahead of Hamilton with Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, third in a race in which eight of the 20 cars failed to finish.
Mercedes’ first podium of the season was soured with George Russell’s first retirement for the team after losing power and rolling to a halt with his engine on fire early on.
