While Max Verstappen took an easy back-to-back victory at the Red Bull Racing, battling behind him was quite intense. Valtteri Bottas finished second as Lando Norris completed the podium after another strong drive for McLaren.
Hamilton and Perez could get close torwards the end.
Perez has to also gap him to the tune of 10 seconds to actually finish ahead of him though. So there’s not really any point in either Perez going for it or Hamilton defending it.
