The Red Bull driver appeared to be in total command having b✃uilt up𓂃 a lead of more than seven seconds, but he was rapidly caught by Norris in the closing stages as he struggled with his tyres.

Verstappen resisted the late pressure to 𒐪claim his fifth victory in seven races this season and further strengthen his grip on the world championship.
"The whole race I had to push flat out to tr🦩y and make a gap initially," Verstappen said.
"On the medium tyres we were quite strong. On the ha๊rd tyres it was more difficult to manage, especially the last 10 to 15 laps.
"I had no grip anymore. I was sliding a lot. I saw Lando closing in. The last 10 laps were flat out. It's difficult when the tyres were not working anymore and you have to go flat out. I couldn't afford to make tඣoo many mistakesꦚ. Luckily we didn't.
"I'm super happy to win here today."
