Earlier, Lewis Hamilton spun off yet again and dropped to the back of the pack. It was already a crazy race after Charles LeClerc crashed out early and the final turn caught out several drivers, including Hamilton and LeClerc. Another victim was Nico Hulkenberg, who nearly grabbed his maiden podium.
