Hamilton, starting on pole position and hoping for a 91st Formula One victory which would equal Ferrari great Michael Schumacher’s all-time record, finished third behind Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. The Briton’s lead over Bottas shrunk to 44 points after 10 races, with the Finn collecting a bonus point for the fastest lap. “I never give up. It was a good day,” said Bottas. “It is nice to get a win, it has been a while and I need to keep the momentum. There are still quite a few races to go, so you never know.”
