Hamilton was forced to take evasive action and ran wide into Turn One and when he re-joined the track he was running in third place - much to Russell and Norris ' frustration. Both drivers radioed their teams calling for Hamilton to allow them to pass as he had gained a clear advantage, despite his own pleas that he "got pushed wide by George". Eventually the seven-time world champion did yield and allowed both his Mercedes teammate and the McLaren to pass, dropping him back to fifth. Meanwhile, Verstappen had made his way up from 11th on the grid to eighth but his progress was soon stopped by Esteban Ocon, as the Red Bull man was held behind his Alpine. Ferrari opted to protect Sainz's lead by sacrificing Leclerc and telling him to slowdown and block Russell from performing the undercut with the pitstops. The race was turned on its head on lap 20 when Logan Sargeant duffed his Williams into the barriers, breaking off his front wing. 10 Logan Sargeant saw his front wing come off in a collision with the barriers Credit: Getty FREE BETS - BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS As the American made his way back to the pits, with debris drop){kind=link}
