Leclerc, who won last time out in Austria to boost his fleeting title hopes, looked to be in total control before he lost grip in his Ferrari through Turn 11 on lap 18 and crashed into the barrier ending his race.

Carlos Sainz finished fifth after a turbulent afternoon ahead of fellow Spaniard Fernando Alonso with Lando Norris seventh in his McLaren and Esteban Ocon of Alpine eighth. Daniel Ricciardo came home ninth with Lance Stroll rounding out the top 10 after narrowly beating Aston Martin teammate Sebastian Vettel to the chequered flag.
