Checo Perez, the Red Bull driver, had to testify before the FIA stewards for a possible violation of the regulations and despite the sanction( 5 seconds), he kept the victory. Charles Leclerc skidded at the start and gifted the lead to Perez, who held the lead from the start to the checkered flag.
Carlos Sainz could not overtake Leclerc and Checo, but he drove Hamilton crazy with his defense and another great podium in a dream season. Alonso had a great qualifying and a good race, with a great defense against Verstappen until the Alpine’s engine said enough. Bad luck for his career record 350 grands prix. Ocon also said goodbye due to engine failure, in a debacle for Alpine, which is already overtaken by McLaren in the Constructors’ World Championship.
The world champion, Max Verstappen had not a good qualifying, with the team somewhat confused with the gasoline, and today he had a bad start, staying in the last positions of points.
Mercedes drivers had a bad race and failed to achieve the planned objectives. Hamilton, who went into the barrier when chasing Sainz and recovered as best he could with a pit stop, finished ninth.
