Giles Richards’s report:
Right, that’s us for the afternoon/evening, after one of the races of the season, a rare interlude from the Red Bull procession. The title will still be theirs and Verstappen’s but here was a proper, gripping race in which any one of five drivers could have won it going into the last few laps. Doesn’t happen often enough, that. Hats off to Carlos Sainz for holding on under considerable pressure, and to Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton and the luckless George Russell for making such a race of it.
Giles Richards’s race report will be up on the site imminently, so hang around for that, and thanks for following. Bye.
