Verstappen started in pole position, but started very badly and was swallowed. Hamilton did well, took the lead and went beyond the first corner with the lead. But the two would meet moments later.
Max didn’t let it go and launched himself to try to overtake at turn six. In a very bold way, he reached the apex of the curve ahead, but Hamilton, with no space on the track, escaped through the exhaust area and kept the lead. In the process, a light touch between the two.
