Max Verstappen's start was not necessarily thunderous, but by now the Red Bull Racing driver has temperature in his hard tyres. The Dutchman was the laughing third after a duel between Kevin Magnussen and Charles Leclerc. On the straight, Verstappen managed to overtake both drivers handsomely.

Verstappen, driving eighth at the time, passed Magnussen and Leclerc with the help of DRS. He now runs in fourth, closing in on Carlos Sainz in third.
