However he was nonetheless by far the most effective driver regardless of not having a automotive that was as dominant because it was the earlier two seasons. As his teammate Sergio Perez constantly struggled, Verstappen wrung the most effective out of the automotive regardless of a 10-race winless streak that he snapped earlier within the month on the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Russell’s victory is his second of the season. Which means seven drivers — Verstappen, Norris, Russell, Hamilton, Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri — have received at the least two races in 2024. That is by no means occurred earlier than in F1 historical past.

Russell began first and wasn’t handed below inexperienced as he rapidly pulled away from the sphere. Hamilton made an excellent drive from tenth to second however used up his tires as he valiantly tried to chase down Russell and misplaced time to his teammate within the last three laps.

Hamilton would have had a fantastic shot on the race win with a greater third spherical of qualifying. However he did not get a very good lap within the last spherical and needed to begin final among the many 10 drivers who superior. Hamilton was the one different driver outdoors of Russell to guide a lap, as he briefly inherited the lead when Russell made his first pit cease of the race.
