After Red Bull were told to hand the lead to Hamilton, Verstappen slowed to do so on the run to the last corner and the Briton ran into the back of him and damaged his front wing. Red Bull stayed out, which put Verstappen in the lead followed by Hamilton and Bottas. At the standing restart, Hamilton was quicker than Verstappen and ahead into the first corner. Hamilton briefly dropped to third behind Ocon, but passed him at the next lap and set off after Verstappen. Masi then told Red Bull Verstappen had to hand the position back but, as he tried to do so, Hamilton slowed behind him.
