More trouble came when Lewis also pitted and lost some ground on the race. With rain pouring down, saw many drivers losing grip and sliding on the track, but for Mclaren's Lando Norris whose car had some grip went on and took the lead.

As bad luck came back, Mercedes' George Russell had to retire early after the car had cooling problems. This left Lewis on his own to fight off Lando Noris and Red Bulls' Max Verstapen.

With 12 laps to go till race end, Lewis on second position passed Land Norris with help from DRS. He went on to lead till the end.
