At the restart, after the red flag, Max Verstappen led the field on the warm-up lap. He seemed to be in control of the race, but he proves that there is a small chance of making a mistake when he tried warming up his tyres a little too wildly.

Verstappen hit the gas hard for the penultimate corner and spun halfway onto the grass. He just managed to keep the car on the right track, preventing Charles Leclerc behind him from taking advantage.
