Fernando Alonso is once again on the podium. At the end, the Spaniard briefly looked for a win, but he had a special reason for not passing Verstappen.
"It was a very intense race, obviously in the wet conditions, we were fast," Alonso said after the race. "We stopped maybe one lap too late but the car was flying today. In these conditions, you need a car you can trust and I did trust the car today."
