Mercedes also had a great race and put both their cars on the podium. Lewis Hamilton got his best finish so far this season in 2nd, while George Russell managed to put Sergio Perez at bay and got 3rd.

Fifth was Carlos Sainz who started on the front row, but his Ferrari car used the tires a lot more than everyone else and had to make early pits, which dropped him down the order.

With his win Verstappen now have 170 points in front of Sergio Perez with 115.
