Max Verstappen seemed on course for an easy win for a long time, but he came under pressure at the end. Lando Norris quickly caught up with the Dutchman, as the tyres under the RB20 ran out of grip. In the end, the Brit came up just short. On X people reacted enthusiastically to the thrilling final phase.
