The start of the race saw Verstappen slides off at Turn 2 while Hamilton surged through the lead. The McLaren drivers, meanwhile, are getting dramatic in their actions during the early stages. 15 laps later, Charles Leclerc became the first driver of this race to pit as he's [utting on a set of hard tyres and returns to track on 18th place. Four laps later, Verstappen pits and a lap later, it's Hamilton.
As the action continues, Verstappen's going all out as he's closing in on Hamilton and as the end draws near, Verstappen upsets Hamilton with a late overtake!
