Behind, Verstappen begins his rebound mission and passes quickly Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo) before making a sublime double overtaking on Magnussen and the Ferrari of Charles Leclercin difficulty this Sunday following his crash in qualifying. The Dutchman then passes George Russell (Mercedes) and Gasly to find themselves fourth after nine laps. Before leaving Sainz and Alonso on the spot after fifteen short laps. Leclerc’s teammate then receives a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
After Pérez’s tire change, Verstappen took the lead in the Grand Prix and completed 46 laps (out of 57) with his hard tires at the start. Less than two seconds behind his teammate when he came out of the pits, he left the Mexican on the spot to regain first place and sign his third victory of the season, the second in Florida.
