F1 favourite Lewis Hamilton went off course trying to pass Pérez for the lead, marking the first time since 2016 that the top two in the championship failed to score point.

In an unfamiliar sight, Pérez, Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasly all finished in the top three on the podium, for the first time this year.
