The race itself saw George Russell triumph for Mercedes, fending off a spirited recovery drive from Lewis Hamilton, who surged from 10th on the grid to secure a stunning second place. Meanwhile, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc completed strong weekends, despite falling out, both finishing ahead of Verstappen. Was this a sign of things to come in 2025?
