Russell comes home to finish 3rd.

LAP 13/19: LECLERC AND HAMILTON BATTLE
They're not teammates yet: Leclerc dives beautifully late on the seven-time world champion, and pulls of what was definitely the overtake of the race so far.

Wow that was close!

LAP 10/19: Tyre Management
2025 teammates Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have dropped off from the front 4 - Sky Sports' Jenson Button believes they are "saving tyres".
