Max Verstappen overcame a five-second penalty and a collision with George Russell to claim his 18th win of this Formula One season and continue his dominance in the sport. The world champion was penalised after forcing Charles Leclerc wide on the first corner but fought back to win. ‘I had to work for it, [it was] very hectic,’ the Dutchman said. ‘We were struggling on the tyres, [but] once we pitted, we had a lot more pace in the car.’
