Late Drama in F1 saw Max Verstappen rise to the occasion

Lewis Hamilton, one of the greatest drivers to ever grace the sport, held a comfortable lead for most parts of the race. Despite Verstappen securing the pole position. However, the situation turned quickly in the Dutch driver’s favor after lap 53. Especially, the mix-up between Williams’ Nicholas Latifi and Haas’ Mick Schumacher, which saw the former bow out of the race.
