Race

[edit]

At the start Valtteri Bottas made a perfect get away to lead Sebastian Vettel into the first corner, behind them there was problems with Daniil Kvyat hitting Fernando Alonso who then in turn hit Max Verstappen, both Alonso and Verstappen retired, Kvyat was given a drive through penalty for causing the accident. Bottas came under investigation for a jump start but the stewards issued no penalty. The rest of the race had little action until towards the end Vettel applied pressure on Bottas for the lead but ultimately he failed to get past Bottas who won the race. Daniel Ricciardo meanwhile held off Lewis Hamilton for the final podium spot allowing Vettel to extend his championship lead to 20 points.[6]
