Max Verstappen, who had a promising start to the weekend by winning the sprint race, finished fourth. Despite the major shake-up at Red Bull Racing, Verstappen’s chances to win his fifth driver’s championship seems to be slipping with each passing week.

Lewis Hamilton, who had an up-and-down weekend, qualified 18th, but was able to take advantage of changing conditions and finish 7th.

The driver championship seems to be down to a 2-way battle between Norris and Piastri with 11 races remaining.
