The Oracle Red Bull Racing driver started third on the grid behind the two Scuderia Ferraris but a fantastic start saw him overtake Sainz in P2. Nine laps later, he overtook Leclerc and looked set for a dominant win. However a safety car intervened on Lap 41 and Verstappen had to be at his best to hold off the advancing Scuderia Ferrari of Leclerc.
