Fortunately, a fierce fight between Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc let Hamilton pass. However, the pair gained up on Hamilton soon, pushing him down to P4. Although, he fought and finished on the podium with P3, the race still ended badly for Bubba, as he hoped to see the Mercedes driver win. And he expressed his sadness on Twitter.
