Alonso thus narrowly missed out on his second podium finish in a row.
Lewis Hamilton started the race on the hard tyre, which earned him fifth place, ahead of both
Ferrari drivers. Behind them, we see the two Alpines of
Esteban Ocon and
Pierre Gasly. Yuki Tsunoda was long on course for tenth place and one World Championship point, but in the closing stages
Kevin Magnussen still managed to move up one place.
