Record world champion Lewis Hamilton came second in a Mercedes, who only put Verstappen under pressure in the early stages of the sprint race. Third place went to Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc. Nico Hülkenberg (Emmerich/Haas) didn’t get past 15th place.
Verstappen extended his lead in the already decided World Championship; the 26-year-old now has 441 points to his name. Second is his Mexican teammate Sergio Perez (228).
In the Grand Prix on Sunday (9 p.m. CEST/Sky) Verstappen can break his own points record from the previous season (454). However, his 50th victory of his Formula 1 career will be a challenge given his sixth place on the grid.
