Finally that happened! In trouble with tires during most part of the Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton managed to keep Verstappen behind him with his epic driving, but also to the particular layout of the track which makes overtaking specially difficult. In the penultimate lap, the Dutchman tried to overtake the British driver for the win at Nouvelle Chicane but made contact.
