Hamilton tried his best to launch an attack on the Dutch driver during the final laps, however, he failed to do so, finally lacking behind Lando Norris. Hamilton went on to ultimately be disqualified from the race, due to breaking one of the rules issued by the FIA.
Charles Leclerc grabbed the pole position initially, however, the Monégasque driver could not successfully use his position to achieve a far better result in Sunday’s race. He also faced the same fate as Hamilton, being disqualified from his sixth position.
