In a DRS train behind Fernando Alonso, the battle erupted when Sainz attacked the Aston Martin driver around the outside of Turn 7 which invited both Serigo Perez and Charles Leclerc into the fight.
After Alonso picked up a puncture in contact with Sainz, as the pair touched in Turn 7 before both going wide at Turn 9 to allow Perez to fly past, there was an all-Ferrari incident at the Turn 14 hairpin when the pair appeared to clash.
