Sebastian Vettel's hopes of moving back into the lead of the Formula 1 drivers' championship have been ruined aꦅfter a three-driver crash also involving Max Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen at Turn 1.

Light rain in the lead-up to the start gave F1 its first ever wet night♎ race, with drivers taking a mix of intermediate and wet tyres for the getaway from the grid.

Raikkonen and Ver♋stappen made good starts to gain on Vettel, with the trio running three-abreast on the run down to the inside of the corner.

Verstappen got caught between the two Ferraris, spinning Raikkonen across the 𝄹front of his car and into the path of Vettel, leaving the cham⛎pionship contender with damage to his car.

Verstappen and Raikkonen were eliminated on the spot, while Vettel spun by his own accord due to the damage s🍌ustained, causing himself to retire from the race.

Lewis Hamilton dodged꧂ the drama to move into the lead, and now has a golden opportunity to extend his points lead over Vet🌜tel.
